Goldberg calls her volume \\u201ca small anthology of Israeli poets writing on love and war.\\u201d Among the 62 poets represented, nearly all are alive and currently writing today.\\xa0She says of them, that they \\u201care men and women, old and young, natives of Israel and foreign born, secular and religious, straight and gay; each, in his or her individual way, represents Israel and reflects the diversity of its faces.\\u201d
