This collection of striking, daring, and often surprising poems is the first by Israeli poet Izakson to appear in a dual English-Hebrew edition. His poetry is at once commonplace and metaphysical, concrete in imagery yet abstract in thought, wildly anarchic yet internally coherent, seemingly secular yet deeply rooted in Jewish sources. Embracing the complexity of human experience, Izakson’s work is, like all great poetry, a persistent and often painful search for the meaning of life.
