Yehuda Amichai : A Life of Poetry 1948-1994 offers a comprehensive and timely evaluation of the body of work of one of our most valuable poets in any language.
Employing the style and idiom of post-Modernist - of a twentieth-century artist - and filtering it through the prism of his Israeli and Jewish sensibilities, Amichai's work is cosmopolitan, muscular, and ironic.
Resounding with the exhilaration of the human drama - love, loss, death, war, eroticism, an the density of experience in human encounters - il is brought into sharper contrast by the ever-present precariousness of Israeli existence.
The burden and legacy of this history, and its impact upon modern, secular society, places Amichai's work within a uniquely Israeli landscape - arid, verdant, cruel, and beatiful - while simultaneously transcending national and religious borders.
Translated from the Hebrew by Benjamin and Barbara Harshav, this volume brings Amichai to this rightful place beside the leading poets of the twentieth century.
