    Extractions: Featured in BBR March 1995 "If God was not full of mercy," one of Yehuda Amichai's early poems asserts, "mercy would have been in the world/Not just in him." Amichai's poetry is not happy, but it is almost always grandly comic, or comic on a grand scale. It is wonderful to have this hefty collection from Israel's most prominent poet, spanning almost 50 years of richly varied writing, to allow us to see the broad scope of Amichai's humane comedy. These poems move across exceedingly bleak terrain with comic awe, comic tenderness and comic fury. God is a frequent target-a god who is made to take many forms. We see him, for example, with his "hand in the world/Like my mother's hands in the innards/Of a slaughtered chicken," or we find him "on his back under the world," where "something's always breaking down, needs repair." Amichai's comedy does not distract from human suffering. Instead it provides the perspective from which to approach, acknowledge and see through it. For example: "through the wound in my chest/God peeps at the world./I am the door/In his abode." It is not unusual for Amichai to speak from different doorways, to shift perspective with dizzying, dazzling fluidity away from some limited or limiting "I" and to open out, suddenly, on an unexpected vista. He swings like a hinge between past and present, men and women, war and peace, technology and mythology. "I see you open the refrigerator, my girl," another poem concludes, "Illuminated in the light of another world." And in the title poem of his 1980 collection, Great Calm: Questions and Answers, he reveals yet another door:

First Love I was blind to you when you loved me long ago.

A group of tourists stood there around their guide, and I became their point of reference. "You see that man over there with the baskets? A little to the right of his head there's an arch from the Roman period. A little to the right of his head." "But he's moving, he's moving!" I said to myself: Redemption will come only when they are told, "Do you see that arch over there from the Roman period? It doesn't matter, but near it, a little to the left and then down a bit, there's a man who has just bought fruit and vegetables for his family."

    Extractions: Y ehuda Amichai, who died last week in Jerusalem at the age of seventy-six, was Israel's pre-eminent contemporary poet, and one of the most widely esteemed writers in modern Hebrew. His poetry, celebrated for its lyric scope and formal range, its pensive clarity and exuberant vigor, and its persuasive embrace of both spiritual and sensual experience, has been translated into more than thirty languages, including Chinese and Arabic. In Israel he was long regarded as a national treasure, his poems recited at weddings and funerals and memorized by generations of schoolchildren. His stature in Israeli public life was affirmed at the ceremony in Oslo for the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded that year to Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, and Yasir Arafat. Amichai was on hand to read one of his early poems, "Wildpeace," and Rabin read another, "God Has Pity on Schoolchildren," in his acceptance speech. Amichai's most recent book of poetry, Open Closed Open, came out earlier this year in an English translation by Chana Bloch and Chana Kronfeld. Two poems from this edition originally appeared in The Atlantic Monthly "I Studied Love" (July 1998) and "After Auschwitz" (November 1999) and can be heard here in readings by Chana Bloch.

    Extractions: E yes are on the Middle East again as we enter the holiday season. I have been browsing in a book called "After the First Rain: Israeli Poems on War and Peace" (Dryad), edited by Moshe Dor and Barbara Goldberg and translated by a number of eminent American poets. It begins with a foreword by Shimon Peres, who recalls in spare, evocative language the ideals and the assassination of his friend Yitzhak Rabin. The poems, of course, speak about the tragedy of war and the longing for peace. Great poetry doesn't necessarily get made out of important subjects. But this is an urgent subject, and the poems address it eloquently. War-weariness, piercing sadness, hope. One of the most eloquent is "Seven Laments for the War Dead" by Yehuda Amichai.
