Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934) is considered Israel's national
poet and one of the greatest Hebrew poets of all time. Several of
his poems, particularly his immensely popular children's verse,
were set to music and proved to be among the most popular
twentieth-century Hebrew songs. An essayist, storyteller,
translator, and editor, he had a unique ability to use fully the
entire linguistic and conceptual inventory of the Hebrew language.
Bialik's career was a turning point in Hebrew literature, bringing
Biblical Hebrew into a contemporary usage and forming the basis of
its renewed vigor. His legacy remains embedded in modern Hebrew
literature like an immovable foundation stone. Atar Hadari's new
translation of Bialik's major poetry fills a long-standing gap in
English letters.
