Translated from Hebrew by Barbara Goldberg and Moshe Dor Dor's poems breathe, smell and taste like Israel. They express the pressures of living in a land constantly under siege, where hope and terror live side by side, where there is a fierce hatred of war and a fierce craving for peace. This is also a book about love--the love for a woman as well as a motherland. Robert Pinsky says, Ardent, compressed, pungent and lyrical, these poems have a glorious force that recalls the roots of all poetry. If only we could all live, daily, constantly, with the tender awareness and presence of the poems of Moshe Dor. If only innocence could once again be our shared hope and strongest memory. These new, thoughtfully lived and exquisitely shaped and translated poems are a deep, indelible tonic to the soul. -Naomi Shihab Nye
