When she arrived in Palestine in 1935 at the age of twenty-four,
Leah Goldberg was already known as a significant emerging
poet in contemporary Hebrew literature. Today, mention of
her name is apt to evoke a nostalgic sigh among Israelis who
have grown up hearing her poems read, quoted, recollected,
and—having been set to some four hundred melodies—sung
on the radio. In the wake of overwhelming new attention on
Goldberg’s work in Israel, With This Night makes available for
the first time in English the final collection of poetry that
Goldberg published during her lifetime.
LEaH GoLdbErG (1911–1970) was the author of nine
collections of poetry, three plays, three novels, a memoir,
literary criticism, children’s stories, and translations of Ibsen,
Petrarch, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, and other classical and modern
poets and novelists. Shortly after her death, Goldberg received
Israel’s highest honor, the Israel Prize.

“Annie Kantar’s versions of Leah Goldberg’s late poems bring into English Goldberg’s
signature combination of resonant clarity and crystalline musicality, and the result is a
marvelous translation of what is arguably Goldberg’s most powerful book. With This night
lets the English reader eavesdrop on modern Hebrew poetry in one of its finest hours.”
