He has recorded three discs with the musician Elliott Sharp: Revenge of the Stuttering Child, Poverty Line, and A Short History of Vodka. From a review by Eric Maroney posted on line: The Fire Stays Red, Hebrew poet Ronny Someck's first collection of English translations (and here in a bi-lingual edition) is a powerful example of the range and nuance capable in modern Israeli Hebrew. Someck, an Israeli of Iraqi descent, sprinkles his poems with Arabic words, and transliterates English words with Hebrew inflections and endings, illustrating just how international and mature a language Hebrew has become; it can absorb the words of other cultures while maintaining its own staunch and vibrant Hebrew identity. Someck's poems are a wide ranging study on the Israeli predicament, but also encompass other subjects like the erotic with a distinctly Israeli touch in `Niva,' where `Once I saw her take off her blouse. Her tan bra was the color of a shack in a transit camp for immigrants', to the humorous `Poem of Longing' where `I long for Grandpa's acrobatics / as he leapt / from one sidewalk/ to another.' Someck's Hebrew is vernacular, crisp and slangy. Yet like many Hebrew poets, he can't fully escape biblical allusion, and this is shown in the last poem `Red Catalog of the Word Sunset.' Here a French poet sees red and compares it to `burgundy from a cloud of grapes," an English poet to a rose, but the Hebrew poet, to blood. Someck's is a country "fastening cannibal lips/ to the setting sun's virginal throat.' The poet's arms are `oars of fear' which `row like Noah to Ararat." A Bilingual Edition in Hebrew and English. First printing [stated].

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ronny Someck is an enormously popular poet and radio host in Israel. Born in Iraq, he spent his childhood in a transit camp for new immigrants. This is his first full-length book to appear in English; his Sephardi voice is rich with slang, hot music, street gangsters and army commandos, and the odors of falafel and schwarma. In what other poet could we find Tarzan, Marilyn Monroe, and cowboys battling with Rabbi Yehuda Halevi for the hearts and souls of Israelis.
