The poet Abraham Shlonsky (1900-1973) can be regarded as the main
architect of Jewish Modernism and Hebrew secular culture. In his
crucial contribution, Ari Ofengenden disentangles Shlonsky's work
from Zionist readings and shows how his poetics redeem experiences
of radical political displacement, exile and alienation through the
use of a precise, chiseled yet playfully enigmatic style. Writing
on immigrants, refugees and urban outcasts following the traumatic
events of the First World War and the Civil War in Russia, his
poetry constitutes a fusion of Modernist European poetry with
biblical and rabbinic sources with the influences of Georg Trakl
and Rimbaud. The book situates Shlonsky's poetry in the context of
his "rebellion" against the romantic poetry of C.N. Bialik and as
an active participant in the European styles of Symbolism and
Expressionism. The book is indispensable for understanding Modern
Hebrew and Jewish culture, and more generally as an exemplar of
today's more prevalent hybridizations of tradition and modernity.
