Yehuda Amichai, widely recognised as one of the most influential voices in modern Hebrew poetry, played a pivotal role in shaping Israeli literature in the twentieth century. Born in Würzburg, Germany, in 1924, and later emigrating to Mandate Palestine, Amichai’s work reflects the complexities of war, displacement, and spiritual questioning. Rejecting formal ornamentation, he employed colloquial language and everyday imagery to articulate profound meditations on love, faith, history, and mortality.
