Extractions: Suddenly, an imperative of the field Id like to thinkit doesnt seem unlikelythat Stanley Kunitz and Yehuda Amichai knew each other. In my minds eye I would have them, two aging poets laureate, sitting quietly on a park bench. They dont speak, but I hear Kunitz's painful words of loss and halting redemption, When I look behind,

Extractions: OPEN THE GATES: Selected Poems Yehuda Amichai From the Hebrew: Karen Alkalay-Gut INTRODUCTION Amichai moved with his family from Germany to Israel in 1936 when he was 11. His salvation from the Holocaust and his religious upbringing colors much of his approach to experience, despite the immediacy of this experience. And his experiences are many and intimately involved in the events of this century. In World War II he fought with the Jewish Brigade of the British Army, then joined the Palmach, fighting in the War of Independence on the southern front. Following the war, Amichai attended Hebrew University, studying Biblical texts and Hebrew literature, and taught in secondary schools. Amichai is a prolific writer and has published eleven volumes of poetry in Hebrew, two novels, and a book of short stories. He has been translated into 33 languages, and there are numerous books in English.. My own interest in translating Amichai emerges from a profound love of his poetry as well as a love for the sound of his poems in Hebrew. When Robert Frost said that poetry is what gets lost in translation, I suspect he meant the sound, the music of the words. And despite the numerous and popular translations of Amichais poetry into English, it seems to me that this music has not always come through, the simple melody of the Hebrew language. The poems have been removed for the present.

Extractions: The Israeli poet died September 22, not in the blazing sand of a battlefield but at Hadassah Hospital in a suburb of his beloved city of Jerusalem. He was a soldier in four warsin World War II and in the formative wars of the modern state of Israelbut, like Rabin (a hero of the Six Day War), he was finally and above all devoted to peace. A consumate modernist, he agreed with Nietzsche that God was dead, but nevertheless wrote eloquently on biblical topics. His insights were conveyed simply and with great humor; for example, when he explained how the only true hero of the sacrifice of Isaac was the ram, or when he asked the rhetorical question:

Extractions: Poet and cultural icon Yehuda Amichai infuses day-to-day life with 'the breath of God.' Noga Tarnoplosky An article that is neither millennial, political, or salacious rarely grabs public attention in Israel these days. But when the Israeli daily Ha'aretz The uncrowned poet-philosopher of Israel had been sick for several months, and news of his illness, while never mentioned explicitly in the media, had worried its way into the hearts and minds of Israelis. People here see Amichai as a kind of troubadour whose lyrics represent their best selves. The question preoccupying readers was, "Is he really well?" In the article, Amichai addressed the matter obliquely but reassuringly; his admirers began to be convinced by seeing him once again at his favorite Jerusalem cafés. In a country known for its prickly, ironic attitude towards public figures, Yehuda Amichai is one of an infinitesimal number of Israeli heroes who retain across-the-board respect, even adulation. Israelis of a not particularly literary bent recite lines from his poems as though they were bits of ancient popular wisdom. Even the titles of his poems—"God Has Pity on Kindergarten Children," "It's Sad to Be the Mayor of Jerusalem," "A Pity. We Were Such a Good Invention"—have become part of the lingua franca of modern Hebrew. Lines from Amichai's poems are tossed about at toney literary events and at the Machane Yehuda open-air market—proof, if proof is needed, of Amichai's superstar status.
