Here is a cross-section of reviews, articles and media coverage that we have started to get on our 10-year project.

Reviews of The Amichai Windows

Aharon Yermiyahu Taub wrote that The Amichai Windows is “a towering achievement in American arts and letters.” Read the whole review in the American Jewish Libraries News Review.

Radio Shows

Ron Nesiel, host of the show, The Weekly Journal, on Kan-Reshet Bet, interviews book artist Rick Black in Hebrew about The Amichai Windows.

As part of the segment, he also talks with Hebrew literature Prof. Avner Holtzman of Tel Aviv University about Amichai’s work and plays a Yossi Banai song of one of Amichai’s poems, I Told You That it Would be so and You Didn’t Believe.

While the Hebrew link is no longer available, an English translation of this segment of the show can be read on our blog post here.

Newspapers

A feature story about The Amichai Windows and how we were able to get permission to do it from Hana Amichai ran in Haaretz, a daily Hebrew newspaper in Israel. It also has some good links to interviews and programs with Yehuda Amichai in Hebrew. We do not yet have an English translation of this article.

A Q and A about The Amichai Windows ran in the Connecticut Jewish Ledger in conjuction with Rick’s program at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
