Review:
PRAISE FOR "OPEN CLOSED OPEN
"
"It is the dream of most poets to become a vox populi without having to sacrifice the subtleties and complexities of their craft . . . Yehuda Amichai is one of very few contemporary poets to have reached a broad cross-section without compromising his art."– "The New York Times Book Review"
 
"Nothing less than an heroic achievement of the spirit, a lofty and sometimes raucous meditation on the history of his nation, his faith, and his heart . . . It is an incomparable triumph."--"The New York Review of Books
"
He is one of our great poets . . . once one has heard his quiet, even tones, precise, distanced and passionate, one never forgets them."-The Times Literary Supplement Open Closed Open is the uncanny record of genuine inspiration. Happy is the man who has so much in his soul."-Leon Wieseltier 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

From the Back Cover:
The last collection from one of the twentieth century's greatest poets

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.

CHANA BLOCH is the author of three books of poems. She lives in California.
CHANA KRONFELD is professor of Hebrew, Yiddish, and comparative literature at the University of California, Berkeley. She lives in California.
