{"product_id":"the-poetry-of-asher-reich-yair-mazor-9780299181543","title":"The Poetry of Asher Reich: Portrait of a Hebrew Poet","description":"A rich union of image and word, this striking book introduces English-speaking audiences to a full range of poetry by Asher Reich, one of Israel's most celebrated contemporary poets, paired with evocative drawings by renowned Israeli artist Michael Kovner. Yair Mazor, a leading scholar of Hebrew literature, provides readers with an introduction to Reich's work and its prominent position within the panorama of modern literature in Hebrew. \u003cbr\u003e Asher Reich's poetry has been characterized as vivid, vibrant, passionate, and expressionistic. Dominated by themes of stormy sensuality and frank sexuality, his dramatic imagery and metaphors interweave Mishnaic, Talmudic, and Biblical references in a colorful, complex poetic texture. The beautiful simplicity of Kovner's drawings--depicting female figures and natural landscapes--resonates throughout the book. Tender, stark, and striking, the drawings illustrate life's fragility and grace with a subtlety and dignity that complements Reich's sensitive style. \u003cbr\u003e Presenting contemporary Hebrew poetry, modern Israeli art, and informed literary commentary in an engaging format, this book promises to delight a broad audience of readers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yair Mazor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299181545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299181543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.10w x 0.49d","brand":"Yair Mazor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202116665599,"sku":"9780299181543","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fb46a2a-face-431a-8625-f237a020a31a.jpg?v=1756819688","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetry-of-asher-reich-yair-mazor-9780299181543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
