Biblical and mythological allusions, political concerns, landscapes, and personal experiences figure throughout, while each poet brings her unique voice to the pages. Maya Bejerano's complex poems often speak to human connection. Sharron Hass brings an interest in mythology, fairy tales, and the underworld to her poems of change and metamorphosis. Anat Zecharia addresses more overtly political and erotic themes. Together, their work speaks to the vitality of Hebrew poetry today. The poems are presented bilingually (Hebrew and English) on facing pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Winding Line\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e gives us an amazing decade of poetry by three powerful Israeli women poets, each breaking through the over-familiar surfaces of normal life and normal politics, to give us depth -- of myth and imagination, of pagan sensuality, of penetrating satire, wrestling with the present moment as with a lover or a foe. No answers here, no ideology, only penetrating insights in which \"the struggle never ends\" (Bejerano), \"God flattens us \/ to stillness and then lets go\" (Hass), and \"the world's apple demands that we bite into it\" (Zecharia). \u003ci\u003e--\u003cb\u003e Alicia Ostriker \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovelist and translator and the author of fourteen books, Tsipi Keller is the recipient of several literary awards, including National Endowment for the Arts Translation Fellowships, New York Foundation for the Arts Fiction grants, and an Armand G.
