New From Devora....
POET IN THE STREET by Michael Porter
Mr. Porter has a unique gift; the ability to blend both the serious and the humorous, the mundane and the surreal into a very readable elixir. His concise poetry reveals the pleasures, absurdities, and constant contrasts of life in Israel. Whether describing fruit picking on a kibbutz or what it feels to stand guard against terrorists at night, Mr. Porter sees it all � the ironies, the traumas, the fears and the joys. That's because he's done it all:
been through the wars, experienced the wonders of kibbutz life, stood as a lone sentry in the wilderness, and seen the horrors of terror close up.
Many of Mike's poems have an introduction that help the reader understand what it takes to hold on to your Zionist Ideals in Israel,in an age when Zionism seems to have lost its charisma. He gives the reader "a piece of string which will lead him or her to the entrance of the maze. Once there, they're on their own!"
