Dahlia Ravikovitch

Dahlia Ravikovitch (1936–2005) is considered by many to be the greatest Hebrew woman poet of all time. Widely honored for her artistry and admired for her courage as a peace activist, she was awarded the Israel Prize, the highest national honor, and cited as “a central pillar of Hebrew lyric poetry.” Hovering at a Low Altitude: The Collected Poetry of Dahlia Ravikovitch (W.W. Norton, 2009) presents, for the first time in English, the full trajectory of her life in poetry. (Photo credit: courtesy of TLV1 Radio)
