The Middle East, Europe and the United States meet in Tel Aviv: the poetry of Ronny Someck

Abstract

Ronny Someck is one of Israel's best-known poets, both in his own country and abroad. He is a well-established author whose poetry has a very personal tone while forming part of the so-called Postmodernist movement. His geocultural points of reference are Israel, the Arab tradition and the Western combination of Europe and the United States. This article introduces the author, his work and the combination of themes and trends inherent in the characters, places, contexts and situations which appear in his poems. Translated versions of sexteen poems are also included.
