Book Description
With scrupulous attention to landmark poetic texts and to educational and critical discourse in early 20th-century Palestine, Miryam Segal traces the emergence of a new accent to replace the Ashkenazic or European Hebrew accent in which almost all modern Hebrew poetry had been composed until the 1920s. Segal takes into account the broad historical, ideological, and political context of this shift, including the construction of a national language, culture, and literary canon; the crucial role of schools; the influence of Zionism; and the leading role played by women poets in introducing the new accent. This meticulous and sophisticated yet readable study provides surprising new insights into the emergence of modern Hebrew poetry and the revival of the Hebrew language in the Land of Israel.

Book Description
In spite of debatable issues, such as metre, we now know enough about classical Hebrew poetry to be able to understand how it was composed. This large-scale manual, rich in detail, exegesis and bibliography, provides guidelines for the analysis and appreciation of Hebrew verse. Topics include oral poetry, metre, parallelism and forms of the strophe and stanza. Sound patterns and imagery are also discussed. A lengthy chapter sets out a whole range of other poetic devices and the book closes with a set of worked examples of Hebrew poetry. Throughout, other ancient Semitic verse has been used for comparison and the principles of modern literary criticism have been applied.

Book Description
Yehuda Amichai (born in Germany on May 3, 1924, and died in Jerusalem on September 22, 2000) was undoubtedly the most prominent and equally paramount Israeli poet during the last half century. His major poetic innovation was to part from lofty poetry and replace it with poetry that consists of simplicity when it comes to vocabulary, syntax, meter and rhyme, and rhythm. Simplicity is the name of his poetic game. Yet that simplicity does not eclipse nor cloud the inner sophistication which his poetry cultivates and displays. Dr. Yair Mazor is a professor-emeritus of modern Hebrew and Biblical literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. To date, Professor-emeritus Mazor has authored 29 scholarly books and more than 250 articles and critical essays that have been published in USA, Israel, and numerous European countries. Dr Mazor is a popular guest lecturer and has spoken to audiences throughout Europe and many other venues around the world. Among the many scholarly awards Dr. Mazor has received are the Sadan Prize and the Shpan Prize for two of his books, the Baron Prize for Excellency in the field of Jewish Studies, the distinguished teaching award by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the Friedman Prize, a national award for the most distinguished Hebrew literature scholar in the United States. In his military service, Dr. Mazor acted as a fighting paratrooper, as well as an instructor of parachuting.

Book Description
The first chapter of this unusual and instructive work shows how the study of sound patterns in Old Testament Hebrew poetry is integral to the investigation of bublical poetry. Then several chapters describe and systematize the sound patterns, beginning with simpler examples of assonance and alliteration. The analysis gradually moves on to more complex configurations which link words and phrases, emphasize key words, mark off syntactical and semantic units, and highlight word repetition and word play. A relationship between sound pattern and meaning in each proverb is shown throughout.
