THE MIRROR OF THE TIMES
During the years preceding Israel’s independence and
the following two decades, Nathan Alterman’s editorial poems appeared weekly in the Israeli press. This bilingual anthology includes selections from The Seventh Column that are political, patriotic, lyrical, and reproving, with accompanying historical and cultural introductions.
It embodies the formative Israeli experience, raising
questions that still resonate today.
“The mirror reflects not just the face, but the soul of the times, and in this collection, we find the poetry of a bridge between worlds.”
