Between Promise and Forgetfulness: Selected Poems of Amichai

Israel Prize, the highest honor in Israel
★Selected Poems from the Life of Amichai, Israel's National Treasure Poet, Multiple Nominees for the Nobel Prize in Literature★Translated by Liu Guopeng [Brief Introduction]
Amichai is a national treasure of Israel and one of the most important international poets of the 20th century. His poetry is transparent, intelligent, and humorous, drawing on intimate experiences and personal life alongside grand themes and collective memories. In his poetry, personal happiness is the standard of all things, and in a turbulent world, love—not God—is the only safe haven. He skillfully blends modernity and tradition, personal emotion and universal meaning, recounting the fate of the Jewish people and the existential conditions of each of us.
This book selects more than 200 excellent poems from Amihai's life, covering various styles and themes of Amihai's creative career, and presents Amihai's lifelike and imaginative poetry world in a complete and concise way.
【Media Recommendation】
The effect of Yehuda Amichai's poetry on me was to open up my own life before me—somehow to open it up, to live it again from the beginning, to reveal the full richness of each moment, and to free me from the prison of my own thoughts.
—Ted Hughes By integrating poetry with everyday life, Yehuda Amichai revolutionized poetic subject matter and language.
