Description
Tal Nitzán is the author of five poetry books and one children's book, and the editor of three poetry anthologies. Born in Jaffa of Argentine descent, she has resided in Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and New York. Here is an extract from the poem 'Mountain High,' which depicts the tall, oppressive buildings of Tel Aviv, where Nitzán is currently living:
I went up to the roofone day in Maya day that spread upon the sky a sheetthe shade of mustard of an orange of an H-bomband the long arduous craving for rainrose as a howl from the parking lots
Host Marcela Sulak also reads Nitzan's poems 'Canary,' 'Grace,' and 'A Cart with a Mare' - the latter is set in the Gaza Strip and inspired by a Haaretz report by Amira Hass from May 2004.
