About this ebook
With At the End of Sleep, an anthology selected from the past decade of Israeli poet Tal Nitzán’s work, one of Hebrew poetry’s most powerful and acclaimed contemporary voices is finally given her English-language due. Reaching beyond lyricism for its own sake, Nitzán brings her lucid, sharp, and often ferocious verse to bear on not only sexuality and personal struggle, but also broader issues of war, power, and the Israeli condition.
Praise for Tal Nitzán
"Tal Nitzán has emerged as one of the most salient and powerful voices of Hebrew poetry in the last decade. Her work is distinguished by a lucid style coupled with a rare ability to condense and express feeling in a wide array of themes, ranging from the intimate and biographical to broad moral, social and political concerns, all presented with a fine poetic musicality never indulging in mere ornamentation."—Moshe Ron, Poetry International Rotterdam
"(Tal Nitzán's) contribution to Hebrew culture is priceless. Her poetry, a display of poetic renewal with fierce expression and passionate emotion, creates a universe shaped as a home, a bond or a family, in which a single verse may warn against the dangers and evils of human existence. In this breathing poetry Nitzán merges the personal with the political and the aesthetic with the ethic."—Jury of the Prime Minister Levi Eshkol Creation Prize for Hebrew writers, 2010
