A collection of modern Hebrew poetry. In this new and expanded edition of a volume first printed in 1965, a new generation of Hebrew poets is added. Each poem appears in both its original Hebrew and an English phonetic transcription, along with extensive commentary and a literal English translation. This offers readers who know little or no Hebrew a way to experience the poem in a multi-faceted way - they are able to speak and hear the lines as well as grasp the poem's meaning. Recognizing that poems have a unique order that may be missed by a reader who doesn't speak the poet's language, the editors provide an understanding of not only what the poet is saying, but how the idea is communicated. Also included in the volume is an introduction to and historical overview of Hebrew poetry from 1880 to 1990.
