Aynfakht

Yiddish poet and Holocaust refugee Rajzel Zychlinsky created hauntingly beautiful poems from the ashes of war. …
When she looks at her work as a body, Zychlinsky sees her poems‘ accessibility as a common thread. „My poems are very aynfakht, uncomplicated,“ she says. „I don’t try to climb walls as some poets do.“
To poets, she advises: „Don’t make yourself more poetic than you are.“
Today Zychlinsky suffers from congestive heart problems and has difficulty walking. Age has taken its toll on her body but her artistic spirit remains intact. „I am a very old woman,“ she says, „but with young poems.“ / Leslie Katz, Jewish Bulletin of Northern California 2003
