The article presents information on the book "Selected Poetry of Yehuda Amichai," edited and translated by Chana Bloch and Stephen Mitchell. Yehuda Amichai is by now one of the half-dozen leading poets in the world. He has found voice that speaks across cultural boundaries and a vision so sure that he can make the conflicts of the citizen soldier in modern Israel stand for those of humankind. What happens to the self in his poems reverberates through the body politic. Amichai's wit is also considerable, he can say virtually anything and give his words enough sting to defuse both sentimentality and hyperbole.
