The greatness of Bialik,
By
This review is from: Selected Poems of Hayyim Nahman Bialik (Paperback)
The greatness of Bialik is the greatness of a pioneer. He invigorates and revives Hebrew language poetry. He writes with a special kind of intensity of longing for Zion, and longing for love. He identifies with and writes powerfully of Jewish suffering. And he makes the painful cry for its redress. He speaks for the Jewish people in its historical desire to return to the land of Israel. He too speaks intimately, painfully of romantic love and loss. And he touches upon the world of his childhood, his parents with a special intensity and strength. Bialik did not write a huge amount of work, but he wrote many memorable poems and lines. He is the first great Hebrew poet of the modern Zionist enterprise. And his songs and his poems fill the hearts and minds of many true lovers of poetry.
