A celebration of the Israeli poet of love and landscape upon publication of The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai, a collection from Robert Alter that assembles the best of existing translations and his own new versions.
“Amichai is one of the biggest, most essential, most durable poetic voices of this past century—one of the most intimate, alive and human, wise, humorous, true, loving, inwardly free and resourceful, at home in every human situation,” wrote Ted Hughes.
