On the "nightmare of biography" and the dream of the "soul's calm".
Thank you for these beautiful words, Aviya. Aside from Aviva-No and your translation here, do you know of any other translations of Adaf's poems into English?
My pleasure! Yes--Becka Mara McKay translated Shimon Adaf's poetry. I know there is a book out, but it's probably out of print because I can't find it. Here is a link to some of her translations of Adaf: https://www.zocalopublicsquare.org/2023/03/03/shimon-adaf-translation-becka-mara-mckay/chronicles/poetry/
Thank you!
“I hope we can all rise above the “‘nightmare of biography.’”--ken y’hee ratzon! May it be so!
Shabbat shalom to you too 💜
