The Metula Poetry Festival in Jerusalem — Closing Event | 120 Years Since Alexander Penn's Birth

What could be more fitting than to close the festival with a tribute to Alexander Penn? A poet entirely full of passions, drives, feelings, weaknesses and inner contradictions. A communist to the core, who wrote the famous "Adama Admati", a poet as Tel Avivian as they come, whose neighbours objected to a memorial plaque on his house because of the wildness of his life. The literary scholar Hagit Halperin will tell all of this and more.
