Tal Nitzan

With At the End of Sleep, an anthology selected from the past decade of Israeli poet Tal Nitzán's work, one of Hebrew poetry's most powerful and acclaimed contemporary voices is finally given her English-language due. Reaching beyond lyricism for its own sake with her lucid, sharp, and occasionally ferocious verse, Nitzán illuminates sexuality and struggle, protests the abuse of power, and plumbs the depths of the Israeli condition.
