Nili Scharf Gold: YEHUDA AMICHAI: THE MAKING OF ISRAEL'S NATIONAL POET

Jewish Community Center
Houston, TX

Using newly discovered material, including a previously unknown cache of love letters, Nili Scharf Gold offers a profound reinterpretation of the work and life of Yehuda Amichai, one of the 20th century's--and Israel's--leading poets. YEHUDA AMICHAI: THE MAKING OF ISRAEL'S NATIONAL POET reveals what was really happening in the poet's life and verse at the end of the 1940's and argues for the influence of Amichai's German past on every aspect of his work, despite his attempts to conceal it. In her careful analysis, Gold exposes much about the nature of poetry and about the important early years in Israel's national history. The book has been called "innovative," "impassioned," and "inspiring." Gold is associate professor Modern Hebrew Literature at the University of Pennsylvania.
