Product Description
Dan Pagis (1930-1986) spent three of his adolescent years in a Nazi camp before arriving in Palestine in 1946. He became one of the most vibrant voices in modern Israeli poetry and is considered a major world poet of his generation. A master scholar of Hebrew literature, Pagis drew fully on classical texts and infused his poetry with a centuries-old mysticism. Yet he also brought an immediacy and colloquialism to Hebrew poetry. In these superbly translated poems, Dan Pagis's voice can be heard celebrating the human spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great scholar poet , April 12, 2005
Dan Pagis along with his good friend T. Carmi was a great scholar poet. His poetry combines a deep feeling for the sufferings of Jewish history especially the Shoah. A broken and condensed beauty pervade his work.
This collection is a highly recommended introduction to one of modern Hebrew poetry's major voices.
