A Winding Line gathers poems from the last decade by three of Israel' s most original and insightful poets, all of whom are women. Biblical and mythological allusions, political concerns, landscapes, and personal experiences figure throughout, while each poet brings her unique voice to the pages. Maya Bejerano' s complex poems often speak to human connection. Sharron Hass brings an interest in mythology, fairy tales, and the underworld to her poems of change and metamorphosis. Anat Zecharia addresses more overtly political and erotic themes. Together, their work speaks to the vitality of Hebrew poetry today. The poems are presented bilingually (Hebrew and English) on facing pages.

"Poets on the Edge: An Anthology of Contemporary Hebrew Poetry [selected and translated by Tsipi Keller] deserves to be in every poetry lover' s library, and should be on every Jewish bookshelf. " -- Rachel S. Harris, The Forward
One of Israel' s leading poets, Maya Bejerano has published fifteen poetry collections; a children' s book; two collections of short stories, and a novel. Her poems have been set to music, and her work has been translated into Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Her volume, The Hymns of Job and Other Poems, a Lannan Translation Selection, was published by BOA Editions in 2008, and a number of her poems appear in Poets on the Edge-An Anthology of Contemporary Hebrew Poetry (SUNY Press, 2008). Bejerano participated in numerous poetry festivals in Israel and abroad, and was a visiting poet at Harvard University. Among her awards are the Prime Minister Prize (1986; 1994), the Bernstein Prize (1988), the Bialik Prize (2002) and the Yehuda Amichai Prize (2016). Bejerano holds a B. A. in literature and philosophy from Bar-Ilan University, and an M. A. in library sciences from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She lives and works in Tel Aviv.
