The pungency of oregano

Aharon Shabtai is a classicly-minded (translator from the Greek) Israeli public poet, their Neruda, bringing a powerful poetic conscience to bear, even in his erotic verse. Peter Coles' translations are a great gift, delivering new vistas from the Middle East. This poetry is unexpected, sharp, tensile and fresh. Sage in brilliant heat.
