Bilingual Edition of Poems by an Esteemed Young Israeli Poet
This unique artist’s book is a bilingual edition of poems by Ronny Someck, one of the best-known and most esteemed young poets working in Israel today. The formal title of the book in English is “Pointe Shoes;” but a more literal translation of the Hebrew title might be “Advice to a Young Girl Dancing,” which is more evocative of the book itself. The poems are accompanied by two hand-colored linear etchings by Israeli book-artist Ido Agassi.
