About
For years I have taught reading poetry out loud and developed a method to improve performance through meaning.
Helicon poetry workshops for outstanding young poetry writers were six full weekends at Mishkenot Shaananim in Jerusalem, after which I founded Arabic–Hebrew Poetry Workshops in 2001.
For ten years I was Artistic Director of a project of composing music to Hebrew poetry at Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, where I have been teaching poetry reading for twenty four years now.
On Christmas 2001 I joined Machsomwatch (Checkpoint Watch), where we monitored Israeli soldiers at checkpoints in the occupied territories of the West Bank, to protect Palestinian human rights and report violations online.
The Voice off the Page was published in Hebrew in 2016. A new, updated version in English, reading a dozen poems in English, is forthcoming.
My first husband was killed in the 1973 war. I have two sons, two daughters-in-law and four grandchildren from my second marriage.
I divide my time between Tel Aviv and London.
