Letter of Recommendation

After my father died this past winter, one of the first poems I wanted to reread was Yehuda Amichai ’s „Letter of Recommendation.“ I first discovered this lyric in the Israeli poet’s book Amen in 1977, and it has remained with me ever since as a model of sacred passion, of unabashed feeling and precise tenderness. / Edward Hirsch features poems by Yehuda Amichai, The Washington Post 16.6.02
