Israel In Translation

This podcast is not for the faint of heart — we’re featuring the poetry of Noam Partom this week, and this poetry calls out sexual predators and chides the poet for allowing men to define her sense of worth. Partom isn’t afraid to say what is largely left unsaid, out of politeness, out of the distasteful thing it is to name what we know exists but which we leave unsaid. Text: Noam Partom, “Chaim Nachman Bialik” translated by Danny Neyman & “Women’s Talk” translated by David Lockard and Danny Neyman Music: Songs from A Winter Funeral Soundtrack by Yonatan Canaan
