Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Yehuda Amichai was first brought to attention in this country by his inclusion in Modern Poetry in Translation (1965). The magazine's editors, Daniel Weissbort and Ted Hughes, here provide a selection of Amichai's poetry translated by various hands, placing his achievements alongside those other Eastern European poets with whom he was first introduced - Zbigniew Herbert, Miroslav Holub, Vasko Popa, Czeslaw Milosz and Andrei Voznesensky - while demonstrating what makes his own talent so unique.In Ted Hughes's words, Amichai was 'the poet whose books I still open most often, most often take on a journey, most often return to when the whole business of writing anything natural, real and satisfying, seems impossible. And that after thirty years of feeling the same way about him. The effect his poetry has on me is to give me my own life - to open it up somehow, to make it available to me afresh, to uncover all kinds of riches in every moment of it, and to free me from my mental prisons'. One of Israel's finest modern poets translated into English and edited by Ted Hughes and Daniel Weissbort - now part of the poetry typographic front-list. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Penguin Ed, 1st Printing. Text/As New showing faint margin discoloration. Illustrated softcover (detail from Jerusalem by D. Henry)/NF w/trace shelfwear. Anthology of poems, selected by poet Yehuda Amichai (1924 - 2000) himself. Originally written in Hebrew.This English edition is in 173 pgs, 2 parts. Part I, poems written 1955 - 1968, translated by Stephen Mitchell; Part II, written 1971- 1985, translated by Chana Bloch. Born in Germany, Yehuda Amichai moved to Palestine when twelve. In 'Jews in the Land of Israel' written about 1971, he writes: "We forget where we came from. Our Jewish/names from the Exile give us away/. Circumcision does it to us/As in the Bible story of Shechem & the sons of Jacob/so we go on hurting all our lives/.What are we doing coming back to all this pain?/.What are we doing/in this dark land with its/yellow shadows that pierce the eyes?/.What are we doing w/these souls of mist, w/these names/with our eyes of forests, w/our beautiful children/with our quick blood?/Spilled blood is not the roots of trees/but it is the closest thing to roots/we have." A song from the soul. Yehuda Amichai is Israel's leading poet, and one of the most outstanding voices of our time. Fine copy.
