The poems in this collection offer a web of delicate, paradoxical, surprising and explosive images, coupled with multi-layered references to Western culture, ancient mythologies, sacred scriptures and art. This tragic-ironic, Dantean ride is breathtaking. Mature age on the brink mingles with a childhood plagued by gothic nightmares, mature Eros with playful Thanatos, Pan with the pandemic, the personal with the political, apocalypse with resurrection.

Translated from Hebrew by Liliane Meilinger
