Approaching You In English Selected Poems Of Admiel Kosman, by Admiel Kosman and translated by Lisa Katz from Hebrew, brings Hebrew-language poetry from Israel into English through selected Hebrew poems of approach, distance, and the awkward intimacy of arriving in English. Because it is a selected volume, the book also has a curatorial task: to make one poet’s range feel available without pretending to exhaust it. I would read it for approach, address, translation, and the self-consciousness of speaking across languages, not as a fixed lesson about Israel. The best entry point is still the poem itself: the line that catches, the image that refuses to explain itself, the feeling that arrives before paraphrase. Approaching You In English Selected Poems Of Admiel Kosman belongs in the translated poetry library because it gives Admiel Kosman’s work a curated doorway for English-language readers.
