The Flower of Anarchy, a selection of Wieseltier's poems spanning almost forty years, collects in one volume, for the first time, English translations of some of his finest work. Superbly translated by the award-winning American-Israeli poet-translator Shirley Kaufman-who has worked with the poet on these translations for close to thirty years-this book brings together some of the most praised and admired early poems published in several small books during the 1960's, along with poems from six subsequent collections, including Wieseltier's most recent, Slow Poems, published in 2000. Born in Moscow in 1941, Wieseltier spent the first years of his life, during the war, as a refugee in Siberia, then again in Europe. He settled in Tel-Aviv a few years after coming to Israel in 1949 and has lived there ever since. A master of both comedy and irony, Wieseltier has written powerful poems of social and political protest in Israel, poems that are painfully timeless. His voice is alternately anarchic and involved, angry and caring, trenchant and lyric. 606 $aElectronic books 606 $aPOETRY / General$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElectronic books. 615 7$aPOETRY / General. 676 $a892.4/16 700 $aWieseltier$b Meir$0648913 701 $aKaufman$b Shirley$01028274 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464289703321 996 $aThe flower of anarchy$92444223 997 $aUNINA
