It makes you feel human. This anthology began with a conversation between Anthony Holden and the scholar-critic Frank Kermode, about the difference between true sentiment and mawkishness, and the pros and cons of men weeping. A Poem for Every Day of the Year, edited by Allie Esiri This is a really fine family anthology: just leave it around in the house and see how often everyone, not just the children, turns to it.

Irresistible, for all ages. Y ehuda Amichai was an exuberant person with a lively, impish sense of humor. He was, at the same time, a melancholy man. Both traits of his personality are present in his poetry in shifting combinations and permutations, with the playfulness actually feeding into the darker brooding of his poems. He did not, as far as I can tell, have a fixed aesthetic program for using a particular kind of imagery.

Rather, his imagination reveled in seizing possibilities for metaphor from unlikely directions he was similarly inventive in conversation. All night long outside and in the dew. But the idea sometimes voiced that he is an easily translatable poet, perhaps almost as good in English as in Hebrew, is profoundly misconceived. He had an acutely sensitive ear to the distinctive resonances of the Hebrew words he used, the deep backgrounds of allusion they evoked, and the significant shifts of register they enabled.

Sound-play of one sort or another is of course an intrinsic feature of most poetry, but its spectacular centrality in Amichai is noteworthy.

Here are the first five and a half lines of the sixth poem, in which Solomon and the Queen of Sheba are brought together in his spectacular palace. I will first offer a transliteration of the Hebrew in order to be able to refer to the sounds of the original. Nevertheless, the acrobatic virtuosity with which Amichai somersaults from word to word through likeness of sound is scarcely perceptible in the English.

One should add that in these lines Amichai expands a medieval midrash on the biblical account of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba 1 Kings There is a vigorous interplay here between pondered texts and the imagined lived context that goes beyond allusion.

The joining of emotion and concrete object is a characteristic Amichai move, extending the high-spirited verbal circus of the poem. Every one of the first seven words has an l-sound. This combination is followed by the rich alliteration and assonance of oneg donag , which sounds like a near-rhyme in the Hebrew. One gets a sense that the words are copulating through sound, that in the fantastic imagery an orgy of language has been initiated, in keeping with the storm of desire of the African queen.

Close scrutiny of the past. What a grand and glorious and transient fleet! The first line is ordinary modern Hebrew with perhaps even a hint of the bureaucratic. The quiet segue from souls to curtains tugged by the wind at the open window and wanting to fly is another one of those characteristic splicings of the spirit and the material quotidian that we observed before. The poem then moves into a meditation on mortality in the second stanza. When Mama put them in the giveaway bag for the poor, I knew this time Daddy had gone out the door for good.

Whether somber or silly, poetry could reach children in a particularly powerful way, Mr. Hopkins believed. I found that using poetry with them was a very miraculous thing, particularly with slower learners.

Hopkins was born on April 13, , in Scranton, Pa. His father, Leon, left the family when he was young; his mother, Gertie Thomas Hopkins, held an assortment of jobs. He was teaching sixth grade in Fair Lawn, N. Later in the decade, working as an editor at Scholastic, he began thinking about anthologies.
