Milk Underground
Ronny Someck
Translated from Hebrew by Hana Inbar, Robert Manaster
With Milk Underground, Ronny Someck enters the English-language poetry shelf through Hana Inbar, Robert Manaster's translation from Hebrew. The book can be situated through milk, underground appetite, streetwise image, and hidden nourishment, though its real life will happen in the reader's contact with particular lines. A useful review should make room for that uncertainty. I would not promise that every poem will open immediately, and I would not want it to. Some books matter because they give us something complicated to think beside. This one belongs in the translated poetry library because it carries a distinct pressure of poetry connected to Israel: not a report about elsewhere, but a living encounter with another arrangement of sound, memory, and feeling.
