Download or read book Poets on the Edge written by and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets on the Edge introduces four decades of Israel's most vigorous poetic voices. Selected and translated by author Tsipi Keller, the collection showcases a generous sampling of work from twenty-seven established and emerging poets, bringing many to readers of English for the first time. Thematically and stylistically innovative, the poems chart the evolution of new currents in Hebrew poetry that emerged in the late 1950s and early 1960s and, in breaking from traditional structures of line, rhyme, and meter, have become as liberated as any contemporary American verse. Writing on politics, sexual identity, skepticism, intellectualism, community, country, love, fear, and death, these poets are daring, original, and direct, and their poems are matched by the freshness and precision of Keller's translations.
Book Synopsis Strange Cocktail by : Adriana X. Jacobs
Download or read book Strange Cocktail written by Adriana X. Jacobs and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, poets have turned to translation for creative inspiration. Through and in translation, poets have introduced new poetic styles, languages, and forms into their own writing, sometimes changing the course of literary history in the process. Strange Cocktail is the first comprehensive study of this phenomenon in modern Hebrew literature of the late nineteenth century to the present day. Its chapters on Esther Raab, Leah Goldberg, Avot Yeshurun, and Harold Schimmel offer close readings that examine the distinct poetics of translation that emerge from reciprocal practices of writing and translating. Working in a minor literary vernacular, the translation strategies that these poets employed allowed them to create and participate in transnational and multilingual poetic networks. Strange Cocktail thereby advances a comparative and multilingual reframing of modern Hebrew literature that considers how canons change and are undone when translation occupies a central position—how lines of influence and affiliation are redrawn and literary historiographies are revised when the work of translation occupies the same status as an original text, when translating and writing go hand in hand.

Book Synopsis A New Sound in Hebrew Poetry by : Miryam Segal
Download or read book A New Sound in Hebrew Poetry written by Miryam Segal and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With scrupulous attention to landmark poetic texts and to educational and critical discourse in early 20th-century Palestine, Miryam Segal traces the emergence of a new accent to replace the Ashkenazic or European Hebrew accent in which almost all modern Hebrew poetry had been composed until the 1920s. Segal takes into account the broad historical, ideological, and political context of this shift, including the construction of a national language, culture, and literary canon; the crucial role of schools; the influence of Zionism; and the leading role played by women poets in introducing the new accent. This meticulous and sophisticated yet readable study provides surprising new insights into the emergence of modern Hebrew poetry and the revival of the Hebrew language in the Land of Israel.
Book Synopsis The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse by : T. Carmi
Download or read book The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse written by T. Carmi and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-06-29 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stunning anthology gathers together the riches of poetry in Hebrew from 'The Song of Deborah' to contemporary Israeli writings. Verse written up to the tenth century show the development of piyut, or liturgical poetry, and retell episodes from the Bible and exalt the glory of God. Medieval works introduce secular ideas in love poems, wine songs and rhymed narratives, as well as devotional verse for specific religious rituals. Themes such as the longing for the homeland run through the ages, especially in verse written after the rise of the Zionist movement, while poems of the last century marry Biblical references with the horrors of the Holocaust. Together these works create a moving portrait of a rich and varied culture through the last 3,000 years.

Book Synopsis The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature by : Neta Stahl
Download or read book The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature written by Neta Stahl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demonstrating the pervasive presence of God in modern Hebrew literature, this book explores the qualities that twentieth-century Hebrew writers attributed to the divine, and examines their functions against the simplistic dichotomy between religious and secular literature. The volume follows both chronological and thematic paths, offering a panoramic and multilayered analysis of the various strategies in which modern Hebrew writers, from the turn of the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century pursued in their attempt to represent the divine in the face of metaphysical, theological, and representational challenges. Modern Hebrew literature emerged during the nineteenth century as part of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement, which attempted to break from the traditional modes of Jewish intellectual and social life. The Hebrew literature that arose in this period embraced the rebellious nature of the Haskalah and is commonly characterized as secular in nature, defying Orthodoxy and rejecting God. Nevertheless, this volume shows that modern Hebrew literature relied on traditional narratological and poetic norms in its attempt to represent God. Despite its self-declared secularity, it engaged deeply with traditional problems such as the nature of God, divine presence, and theodicy. Examining these radical changes, this volume is a key text for scholars and students of modern Hebrew literature, Jewish studies and the intersection of religion and literature.

Undoubtedly, the poetry by Dalia Ravikovich has marked a new era in modern/contemporary Israeli poetry. The language in her early poetry (notably in her first volumes of poetry entitled "The Love of the Orange," "Hard Winter," and "The Third Book") echoes archaic Hebrew, which was influenced by the ancient Aramaic language and practiced in the periods of the Mishna and the Talmud (from about 200 BCE through 500 CE). The tone and rhetoric in Ravokovich's poetry are remarkably lyrical and soft, her themes submissive, the rhythm singularly relaxed and pacified, while expressing the desire to be led, to be treated gently, to be fervently loved, and to reach distant, misty, coaxing horizons. Her poetry is of yearning and pining, and displays much agony, pain and chagrin; nevertheless, her imploring complaint is tender and gentle. In 1998, she won the remarkably prestigious Israel Prize for poetry. In 2008, however, Dalia Ravikovich met her tragic death at the age of 69. This anthology contains 115 poems by Dalia Ravikovich, translated from the Hebrew by the author.
