Interpretations

Moshe D. Shafrir-Stillman has been writing Hebrew poetry for fifty five years and has published over a dozen books. Interpretations tackles weighty subjects such as the essence of life, man's place in the world, belief in God versus science, time, memory and the future. He refers to characters from the Old Testament as well as Middle Eastern myths. He writes meditative poems, ballads and humorous verse. There is nothing more amazing Than fleeting time, so surprising From the moment of creation to now, As that time lingers To offer some help and advice To a man on his way to Hades. ("Amazement") Interpretations is a poetic review of the rocky path of a disillusioned poet who is both sensitive and realistic.
