Avraham Ben-Yitzhak

Avraham Ben-Yitzhak

Avraham Ben-Yitzhak, (1883 - 1950) was a Hebrew poet

He was born in 1883 in Galicia, a region of Eastern Europe that has at times been part of Austria, at times of Poland (as it is today). In his youth, it was part of the Austrian Empire, and he moved to Vienna to study. In 1938 he fled to the Land of Israel after the German occupation of Vienna. He died in 1950 in Israel of tuberculosis. He had only published eleven poems in his lifetime. These, and a few more, were rediscovered after his death.

He was a friend of Elias Canetti, who wrote a profile of him in the April 7, 1986 edition of The New Yorker. He was also a friend of James Joyce and rumored to be romantically attached to Leah Goldberg. Most of all, his friends remembered him for his long silences.
