Child by Amir Or, translated by Seth Michelson

Child is a luminous, nostalgic and compelling collection of poetry translated from the Hebrew of 2020 SPE Golden Wreath laureate Amir Or into English by Seth Michelson. These are lyrical, contemplative poems that pick at the mythical surfaces lurking under the sandpit and dream of the days when: “the world was made of love; the light lit up the darkness.”
