This is Someck's first full-length book to appear in English. His Sephardi voice is rich with slang, hot music, street gangsters and army commandos, and the odours of falafel and schwarma. In his poetry we find Tarzan, Marilyn Monroe and cowboys battling for the hearts and souls of Israelis. |
| Synopsis: |
Ronny Someck is an enormously popular poet and radio host in Israel. Born in Iraq, he spent his childhood in a transit camp for new immigrants. This is his first full-length book to appear in English; his Sephardi voice is rich with slang, hot music, street gangsters and army commandos, and the odors of falafel and schwarma. In what other poet could we find Tarzan, Marilyn Monroe, and cowboys battling with Rabbi Yehuda Halevi for the hearts and souls of Israelis? |
