Introduction by Neph
It is not important how these poems came to be read by me. The moment I read them I knew that here was something very special, an extraordinary talent. I received permission from the poet to translate them into English - a translation which does not do justice to the acute poignancy of the original Hebrew. At the suggestion of the webmaster I have added at the end of each poem a transliteration of the first verse of that poem, so that those who are not Hebrew-speakers (!) can gain some impression of the prosody. The syllables in CAPitals bear the stress; é as in French; ĥ as in Scottish 'loch'.
