Does David still play before you?

Jacobson, David C.

Does David Still Play Before You? explores the ways that contemporary Israeli poets have made use of images from the Bible in their poetry. Through close readings of fifty poems, featured in their original Hebrew and in English translation, David Jacobson studies how Israeli poets respond to and incorporate the Bible in their work and reflect on the presence of the Bible in contemporary Israeli culture. The book provides a stunning collection of powerful and moving voices. The secular Israeli poets include Amir Gilboa, T. Carmi, Nathan Yonathan, Matti Megged, Yehuda Amichai, Anadad Eldan, Nathan Zach, Dan Pagis, Haim Gouri, Aryeh Sivan, Moshe Dor, Yehudit Kafri, Dalia Ravikovitch, Asher Reich, Meir Wieseltier, Aliza Shenhar, Edna Aphek, Rachel Chalfi, Yitzhak Laor, and Maya Bejerano.
