Israel Translation Workshop

28th April – 5th May
Galilee and Tel Aviv,

Following the first successful joint workshop in 2007, LAF and the Helicon Society for the Advancement of Poetry in Israel are bringing together Israeli poets Yael Globermann, Sabina Messeg and Amir Or with Doris Kareva (Estonian, Estonia) Meg Bateman (Scottish Gaelic, UK) and Pascale Petit (English, France/UK).

The poets will be reading at the Nissan International Festival of Poetry in Ma’gar in Galilee on the 29th of April and at Helicon House in Tel Aviv on the 3rd of May. They will write, share and translate each others work with workshop leaders Alexandra Büchler and Tziona Shamay.

The UK participants visit Israel with the support of Bi-Arts, a programme for artistic exchange between the UK and Israel, organised by the British Council. Doris Kareva's visit is supported by the Estonian Literature Centre.
