"The Milk Underground possesses the clarity we associate with the films that shape our lives. He is the auteur of angst, the director of a cast of characters destined to haunt our dreams, the one who knows best how to frame his, and our, experience. Someck is one of the most inventive poets around."-Christopher Merrill, Necessites "In poetic language that is both conversational and lyrical, Inbar and Manaster masterfully and seamlessly translate Someck's wide-ranging, horrified and loving vision."-Aliki Barnstone Ronny Someck was born in Baghdad in 1951 and came to Israel as a young child. His work has been translated into forty-one languages.
