BOOKS 2024 #The new library

In the middle of 1980, a brown envelope containing a story called Hamorim, by an unknown author named David Grossman, arrived from Jerusalem to the magazine Simen Kira. The story was written with overflowing talent, and was unusual in its materials in the Israeli fiction of those times. It was printed in the journal and initiated the relationship that continues to this day between David Grossman and exclamation point books.

The book in your hand gathers all of Yona Wallach's poems that were not included in her "standard" library. Along with poems that have never seen the light of day and are revealed here for the first time, many of the poems in the book are poems that Wallach herself published in her lifetime - and were rejected from her book for being wild, undisciplined and experimental.
