2 Poetry Books by Yehuda Amichai
Requirements: PDF Reader, 2 MB
Overview: Yehuda Amichai (3 May 1924 – 22 September 2000) was an Israeli poet. Amichai is considered by many, both in Israel and internationally, as Israel's greatest modern poet. He was also one of the first to write in colloquial Hebrew. He was awarded the 1957 Shlonsky Prize, the 1969 Brenner Prize, 1976 Bialik Prize, and 1982 Israel Prize. He also won international poetry prizes: 1994 – Malraux Prize: International Book Fair (France), 1995 – Macedonia`s Golden Wreath Award: International Poetry Festival, and more.
Genre: Yewish Literature / Poetry
Amen (translated by the author and Ted Hughes)
Amichai is the great master of modern Hebrew poetry, whose work can always be read at many different levels. There is a clear surface meaning, and there are layers of implications. The language too is like Agnon rich with religious traditional textual irony.
Poems of Jerusalem
Bilingual edition, with translations by Assia Gutmann, Harold Schimmel, Chana Bloch, Ted Hughes and the author. In this anthology, Jerusalem dominates as Amichai delights in contrasting the city's religious imagery with the mundane concerns of daily life therein. An erotic subtext is often present: in "A Tourist," the poet chats up a Scandinavian "golden girl" who is visiting the Old City, closing with this aside to the reader"Once Hebrew was God's slang / in these streets, / now I use it for / holy desire." The poet is acutely aware of the romantic notions of the Israeli capital and of the simplistic views of its conflicts harbored by tourists. In "Jerusalem," written before the 1967 war, Amichai contemplates the physically divided city: "We have put up many flags, / they have put up many flags. / To make us think that they're happy. / To make them think that we're happy." Religious motifs are not exclusively Jewish here but Christian and Moslem as well.
