There is something about war – the violence, the worry, the loss, the fear, the love, the grief, the hopeful prayers – that summons poetry from deep within the soul. There is something about our war, more than 400 days of it, that compels Jewish poets to attempt to capture something ephemeral. Poetry is a vehicle for that.
