{"product_id":"open-closed-open-yehuda-amichai-9780156030502","title":"Open Closed Open: Poems","description":"In poems marked by tenderness and mischief, humanity and humor, Yehuda Amichai breaks open the grand diction of revered Jewish verses and casts the light of his own experi­ence upon them. Here he tells of history, a nation, the self, love, and resurrection. Amichai's last volume is one of medi­tation and hope, and stands as a testament to one of Israel's greatest poets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eOpen closed open.
