Gabriel Levin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gabriel Levin, poet, the son of the American novelist Meyer Levin (best known for Compulsion, the first "non-fiction novel") and French novelist Tereska Torres, was born in France in 1948. He lives in Jerusalem with his Israeli wife and children.
He is the voice of those fascinated and disorientated by dislocation. His style, characterized by "laconic precision", is detectable in everything he writes, whether article, poem, introduction, translations or footnote.
