4.0 out of 5 stars More than just an anthology of poetry, November 23, 1998

This review is from: Voices from Israel: Israeli Poets Speak to America of Life and Home, Anguish and Sorrow, Love, Joy and Hope (Paperback)

This collection brings to us more than just a gift of poetry from the land of Israel. It allows us to touch lives that we have no other conception of. In Voices, we meet people who live in fear, in awe, in tradition and history that we here in the US have almost no connection to, and we are privileged to take a glimpse into their lives and passions. This publisher had a keen and creative eye in bringing us a gift of modern history, beauty, and of course, the graces of the poetic verse that we otherwise would not have heard.

Voices from Israel is a great read for anyone who enjoys great poetry. The thing that makes this collection interesting is that it is by Israeli authors and they write about their experiences and feelings on Israel and the Jewish experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys creative thinking and discussions about such an important topic as Israel and how the people of Israel are important to all of us.

I found VOI to be a great and inspiring collection of poems from some truly talented poets. Thankfully, the publishers decided to put this book together as it really hit home in exploring the intricacies of life. I recommend it highly.
