Avot Yeshurun’s self-commentary
Throughout his literary career, which spanned over sixty years, Avot Yeshurun responded to readers’ dismay at his poems’ hermeticism by attempting to explain the logic of his writing. Although critics never fail to mention the difficulty of Yeshurun’s poetic language, his self-exegetic texts, which often appeared as paratexts in his volumes of poetry, have gone largely ignored. This essay reads Yeshurun’s self-commentary as a fundamental tenet of…
Natan Zach’s Poetics of Erasure
Natan Zach has often been described as the most influential Hebrew poet in the second half of the 20th century.

It begins by examining the formative debate in both Hebrew letters and European discourses of modernity at the end of the nineteenth century which address the tension between writing the nation and writing the self. It moves on to the equally constitutive question within Jewish nationalism of the relati…

It explores the ways in which literary culture—as site and as tool—participates in the production of national identity. The aesthetic paradigms, political ideologies, and social interests that privilege certain texts and literary modes are reexamined within the framework of the conscious and deliberate practices of Zionism to formulate a nat…
