Open Closed Open: Poems

In poems marked by tenderness and mischief, humanity and humor, Yehuda Amichai breaks open the grand diction of revered Jewish verses and casts the light of his own experiÂence upon them. Here he tells of history, a nation, the self, love, and resurrection. Amichaiâ€™s last volume is one of mediÂtation and hope, and stands as a testament to one of Israelâ€™s greatest poets.
Â
Open closed open. Before we are born, everything is open
in the universe without us. For as long as we live, everything is closed
within us. And when we die, everything is open again.
Open closed open. Thatâ€™s all we are.
