Poetry
A member of the Israel Association for Writers in English, he has been an editor of its journal, Arc, and a regular contributor to Israel’s best-known English poetry journal (founded by the late Reuben Rose, and long edited by Mark Levinson) “Voices Israel.” In a survey article on Israeli poetry, Professor Howard Schwartz cited him as among the significant writers of English-language poetry in Israel. A selection of his poems from Mourning for my Father is included in Alan Kay’s Jewish Book of Comfort.
The most comprehensive, easily accessible sampling of his poetry appears on the PoemHunter.com website . An E-book of 1500 poems is also available from this site.
