Restless Lexicons: Contemporary Hebrew Poetry in Translation

Magnes Collection of Jewish Life and Art 2121 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA, United States

Two translators, two books by important and divergent voices in contemporary Hebrew literature. Yakir Ben Moshe's Take a Breath, You’re Getting Excited walks “a tightrope of levity and weight” in its portrait of a younger poet’s frenetic, serial search for love in Tel Aviv. Simon Adaf’s Aviva-No, a cycle of elegies on the death of the poet’s sister, inhabits an opposite pole of grief and loss.
