Yehuda Amichai emigrated with his parents to Jerusalem in 1935. There he became one of the first poets to write in colloquial Hebrew, writing fourteen books and winning the Israel Prize in 1982. Open Closed Open was his last collection of poetry. It is a testament to all that he represented: the beauty and honor of living, the wonder and vibrancy of language, the transformative power of love.
Praise for Yehuda Amichai and Open Closed Open
"Poets have always talked reverently about unlocking the human heart, but when I read Amichai I wonder who before him actually managed it."--Ted Hughes
"Amichai's splendid poems, refined and cast in the desperate foundries of the Middle East, where life and faith are always at stake, exhibit a majestic and Biblical range of the topography of the soul."--Anthony Hecht
"It is the dream of most poets to become a vox populi . . . Yehuda Amichai is one."--The New York Times Book Review
"Once one has read [Amichai's] poems, one can never forget them--there can be so much life and truth in sixteen lines. Amichai is a master."--Octavio Paz
YEHUDA AMICHAI (1924-2000) is considered one of the great poets of the twentieth century. The recipient of numerous awards, his work has been translated into more than thirty-seven languages.
