On this episode, Marcela reads from Author and poet Hagit Grossman's newest book in Benjamin Balint's English translation, Trembling of the City. The collection consists mostly of intimate portraits of inhabitants of the city, particularly women.
Here is an excerpt from her poem "Sophia":
"All morning she has stolen clothes and given them to the poor. This is what Sophia knows how to do. She being, herself, a very poor woman. She steals clothes from charity shops, but can't stand the bounty in her own closet. She has a conscience. She has a good opinion of herself. She gives them to poor women left out in the cold. She always dreamed of being Robin Hood."
Grossman has been featured on Israel in Translation once before.
