HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR DROPPING BY!

I write poetry and occasionally some prose in Hebrew and English. I am bipolar (manic-depressive), so my writing tends to focus on mental and psychological states of mind/moods, yet I deal with other subject matters as well, depending on inspiration sources. Sometimes a single word - either its sound or its meaning, can start me off. In addition, I like to write Haiku poems - I find it unique in every respect and consider it a challenge. Being an Art lover and a very visual creature, I also enjoy IMAGE POETRY, that is - poetry inspired by visual images, although I am quite alarmed by the growing popularity of Fantasy and digital art which are far from the desired standards, as far as art goes... there's a lot of technical talent there, but subject-matter tends to be shallow and often sexist.

MY OTHER INTERESTS INCLUDE
 Modern & Post-Modern Art
Animal Rights
Gay & Lesbian Rights and Gay Culture
Feminist issues
Zen-Buddhism

Environment issues


I live in Tel-Aviv, Israel, with my four adorable cats - the only family I have.

My poem At Annacapri (Hebrew) won #2 in a contest for young poets (Israel)
Several poems in Hebrew have been published in an Israeli Literature magazine.
I feature in Cherry Blossoms (English) a collection of haiku poems from poets around the world. See
