Voices Israel Poetry

About Voices Israel

Voices was founded in August, 1971 by Leslie Summers, Reuben Rose, Moshe Ben-Zvi and Jacob Katwan. From this small beginning of four members, the organization has grown to a membership of about 150 poets in Israel and many other countries. Our goals are:

- to provide an outlet for writers of English poetry in Israel

- to encourage new poets in their art

- to promote international friendships through poetry

Members read their work at monthly meetings held in Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem and other towns and participate in workshops held currently three times a year.
