Conference at Yale to Focus on Israeli Writer Yehuda Amichai
 
New Haven, Conn. — Yale University will host an international conference on October 20 and 21 celebrating the life and work of Israeli poet Yehuda Amichai. 


The conference, “Poetics and Politics in Yehuda Amichai’s World,” is free and open to the public. Sessions will take place in the Whitney Humanities Center auditorium, 53 Wall St. 


Amichai, considered one of the great poets of modern times, has been praised for the depth and complexity of his language as well as its accessibility, even in translation from the original Hebrew. His books were best sellers in Israel, and in the years before his death, he enjoyed the status of a celebrity.
