A Different Source: Selected Poems

This collection of remarkably beautiful, daring and often surprising poems is the first by Israeli poet Miron C. Izakson to appear in a bilingual English-Hebrew edition. Izakson's poetry is many-sided: commonplace yet metaphysical in subject matter, concrete in its imagery yet inclined to abstraction, wildly anarchic yet internally coherent, seemingly secular yet wholly drawn from Jewish sources. Izakson embraces the complexity of the human, and like all great poetry, his is a persistent and often painful search for the purpose and meaning of life.
