About the Author

Praise for this book

"Yehuda Amichai's poetry is about love, family and war; it is centered in his own being and his people's history. He writes in a language that is both modern and ancient, both secular and religious. The Bible, Jewish history and his own life are part of the form and substance of his poetry as surely as new and old Jerusalem and the City of David are made of the same stone. Joy is a recurring theme. Through his art Amichai abundantly provides for human need as few authors can. We trust him with our spirit." --Stanley Moss
"Amichai is one of the truly authentic and powerful voices of our era." --Ted Hughes
