Fiction Poetry
The first publication in the United States of celebrated
contemporary Israeli poet Agi Mishol, winner of the Yehuda
Amichai Poetry Prize Agi Mishol’s poetry, written in the instability of
contemporary Israel, is an astounding balancing act between
brave utterance and comic revelation, stark reality and pure
pleasure. The poet dreams of being married to Stephen
Hawking; men, with all their brazen flaws, are loved, even
admired; parents are mourned and remembered; the poet
herself freezes in the spotlight of her own poetry reading;
a suicide bomber disguised as a pregnant woman walks into a
Jerusalem bakery. Skillfully rendered from the Hebrew into English by Lisa
Katz, Look There introduces American readers to a vital new
poet, whose depth and verve have earned her an international
reputation.
