Adrienne Rich, "What Is Found There: Notebooks on

Poetry and Politics" (1993)

 

[P]olitics is the effort to find ways of humanely dealing

with each other -- as groups or as individuals -- politics being

simply process, the breaking down of barriers of oppression,

tradition, culture, ignorance, fear, self-protectiveness. (p24)

Later poems [of Irena Klepfisz] examine the pain and necessity

of a Jew who identifies with the Palestinians under Israeli

occupation. From the Warsaw Ghetto resistance to

the intifada her trajectory is clear. (p143)

Irena Klepfisz 나 마찬가지로 Adrienne Rich 도

유태인 여성 시인이다.

Klepfisz 의 시:

"To a Palestinian woman who I am afraid to name"

(클릭해서, 68쪽에; 이 시만 올라있는 website 를 찾지 못했다)

Ramallah N ablus Qattana if I

forget thee oh Jerusalem

Oh Hebron may I forget

my own past my pain

the depth of my sorrows.

-- 위 시의 마지막 다섯 줄.
