Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934) is considered Israel's national poet and one of the greatest Hebrew poets of all time. Several of his poems, particularly his immensely popular children's verse, were set to music and proved to be among the most popular twentieth-century Hebrew songs. An essayist, storyteller, translator, and editor, he had a unique ability to use fully the entire linguistic and conceptual inventory of the Hebrew language. Bialik's career was a turning point in Hebrew literature, bringing Biblical Hebrew into a contemporary usage and forming the basis of its renewed vigor. His legacy remains embedded in modern Hebrew literature like an immovable foundation stone. Atar Hadari's new translation of Bialik's major poetry fills a long-standing gap in English letters. Hayim Nahman Bialik is considered by many to be one of the greatest Hebrew poets of modern times. This volume presents translations of a selection of his work. Atar Hadari is a poet, playwright, translator, and essayist. His poems have appeared in the Times Literary Supplement, American Poetry Review, Partisan Review, and many other journals, and his plays have been performed in New York, London, Boston, Los Angeles, and Provincetown.
