Book Description
The usual suspects gather. The splendour of the natural world surrounding it cannot fail to inspire. Changing seasons bring varying outlooks. Whether in the wilderness or just looking upon the garden. Family interactions feature in this collection, some from the view of a son, some of a father. Situations which may strike a chord with others. The effort of keeping surplus weight off, especially after working hard to shift it, in the first place is always a challenge and prompted a few indifferent verses. This volume includes a homage to the American comedy drama M.A.S.H, a programme I have to acknowledge as shaping my sense of humour, whilst I watched it throughout childhood and teenage. Social comment has again managed to squeeze itself in. There is always something going on in society that gets under my skin at some point, whether it be people driving like idiots or those unfortunate souls who have bad neighbours.

The Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse
Author: T. Carmi
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141966602
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 964
Book Description
This stunning anthology gathers together the riches of poetry in Hebrew from 'The Song of Deborah' to contemporary Israeli writings. Verse written up to the tenth century show the development of piyut, or liturgical poetry, and retell episodes from the Bible and exalt the glory of God. Medieval works introduce secular ideas in love poems, wine songs and rhymed narratives, as well as devotional verse for specific religious rituals. Themes such as the longing for the homeland run through the ages, especially in verse written after the rise of the Zionist movement, while poems of the last century marry Biblical references with the horrors of the Holocaust. Together these works create a moving portrait of a rich and varied culture through the last 3,000 years.
