Scorched by the Sun (Small Press Distribution (All Titles)) First edition

Poetry. Jewish Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Translated from the Hebrew by Barbara Goldberg. Moshe Dor's poems breathe, smell and taste like Israel. They express the pressures of living in a land constantly under siege, where hope and terror live side by side, where there is a fierce hatred of war and a fierce craving for peace. Here current events unfold in biblical landscapes. This is also a book about love?the love for a woman as well as a motherland. Cover art by Mordechai Ardon.
