<p>The first book-length collection in English of this major Israeli poet.</p><p>Finalist for the 2018 National Jewish Book Award in Poetry presented by the Jewish Book Council </p><p>from "At Your Side"</p><p>Years I walked at your side</p><p>like our prophet Isaiah</p><p>barefoot naked and bare</p><p>I will put on no cover</p><p>until you see me</p><p>until you recognize an other</p><p>one person</p><p>at least</p><p>and so know yourself as well</p><p>Mordechai Geldman came of age as a poet in the seventies, an auspicious and transformative time in the development of modern Hebrew literature, as poets and writers rejected the flowery, the hyperbolic, and the sentimental and opted instead for a more direct and intimate speech. While his early poems tended to rely on linguistic exploration, his vision soon turned inward, as he came to favor the simple, the true, the authentic. Geldman's poems are direct and accessible, touching on and revealing the divine and the sacred in the so-called mundane.</p>
