Amir Or

Day Amir Or

[Amir Or] is a poet who dares, in our time, to mention the 'soul.' He is a poet whose awareness of Old Testament poetry rings easily and true, like water echoing in the heart of a cove. . . . This is a poetry of note, a work to be taken seriously and spread around, a poet who bestrides several traditions with seeming ease, a special contribution to world poetry.-John F. Deane, from the Afterword
