	Yehuda Amichai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yehuda Amichai (1924 - 2000) was an Israeli poet.

		Amichai was born in Würzburg, Germany, as Ludwig Pfeuffer, then immigrated with his family to Palestine in 1936.

	The Selected Poetry of Yehuda Amichai (Literature of the Middle East) \| By - Yehuda Amichai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Amichai was born in Germany in 1924, but immigrated to Israel as a boy of 12; he began writing poetry early, especially in the exuberant atmosphere of the newly proclaimed Israel in 1948.
		Amichai continued to write poetry throughout the twentieth century (he died in 2000), winning national and international prizes and recognition as one of the greatest poets of the age, not only of Hebrew, but internationally.
		Amichai is a patriot of sorts, in that he celebrates the place and culture of Israel, but is not blind to the problems there, and by no means a 'death to the enemy' kind of writer -- a bit ironic, given that his poetry is popular among the soldier-citizenry of Israel.

	Yehuda Amichai - Press Release
		Predictably, Amichai's popularity abroad has contributed to a certain critical backlash in Israel, one particularly jaundiced recent critic going so far as to claim that this is the sort of stylistically meager poetry in which nothing is lost in translation.
		In fact, Amichai's continuing popularity in Israel reflects the fact that he is by no means a poet for export only, and despite the liveliness and beguiling character of his poetry in translation, there are aspects of athletic inventiveness in his Hebrew that cannot cross the translation barrier.
		As one might assume, Amichai's exploitation of indigenous stylistic resources is often connected with his sensitivity to the expressive sounds of the Hebrew words he uses and with his inventive puns, which are sometimes playful, sometimes dead serious, and often both at once.

		Yehuda Amichai was an Israeli poet who was born in 1924, began his writing career in 1948, and died, sadly, in September of 2000.
		Amichai’s poetry has the kind of wit often found in the work of poets whose countries have been torn apart by years of war (Wislawa Szymborska also comes to mind here).
		Amichai was one of the great minds of our time, and I strongly believe he should be read more widely in the United States than he is currently.

	@The Source Israel Online Magazine
		One of the reasons for this emotional reaction is Amichai's simple love of life and his awareness of the profundity of the experience of daily living, intensified by the fact that this living occurs in a country charged with meaning and continuous moral choice.
		Whether Amichai is describing the process of carrying his ex-wife's bed down the street in Jerusalem or watching the Israelite in front of him follow Moses through the desert, the poem is a sum of the common experience and the unrepeatable understanding.
		Although Amichai's poems are many and varied, my favorite come from the sensual, the spiritual and the philosophical side of Amichai, when he grapples with the significance of his own life and the lives of those heloves.

		Born in Germany, Yehuda Amichai emigrated to Israel when he was twelve.
		It is one of Amichai's richest accomplishments that he, by writing in the modern Hebrew spoken on the streets and in the shops and homes of Israel, helped created a vernacular literature for the new nation.
		In Amichai one almost always encounters a delight in figurative language; yet his poems are never pretentious or tedious, since they speak out of the everyday and towards concerns we encounter every day.

		Constructing a lineage in which to place himself, Amichai begins these verses of personal and cultural history with a stone from a destroyed Jewish graveyard; and moves on to enact the story of David, recall poems by Ibn Ezra, and even consider Jesus as an instance of "Jewish Travel".
		Amichai, who emigrated to Palestine in 1936 and is now 76, places imagined Holocaust memories ("I wasn't among the six million who died in the Shoah./I wasn't even among the survivors") adjacent to irreverent reconfigurations of Torah characters, investigates "The Language of Love and Tea with Roasted Almonds", and asks "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Why Jerusalem".
		"Yehuda Amichai continues to make himself new...OPEN CLOSED OPEN not only explodes the expectation of what a poem can do, what a prayer can be, to whom we pray and why, but also succeeds in telling the life story of one of our greatest poets." - Peter Richards
