Many of the poems in the book "Bell", the second book by the poet Orin Rosner, are love poems.
However, this statement is only true to a certain extent, because a small part of them are "innocent" love songs, such as the song "The First Man": "How lonely can you be, the first man / every evening to light a fire / every night to survive / every morning, the suffocating Beraut - // And when a second man appears / and places the shaft of your hand / in the palm of his hand, the first time / a man within a man, / a cave within a cave."
This song is the exception that proves the rule, since in many of her love songs Rosner has a tendency to gently circle around the dangerous, the violent and the deviant - a constant dance on the brink of an abyss.
Thus, for example, in the song "Escape", where the speaker celebrates the life of her lover "the coward", who evades reserves and prefers to stay in bed with her;
Apparently - Israeli romance in the face of the national existential threat of death.
I think it is a completely different thought. " - In this way the poet sets up a slightly perverted erotic fantasy, arising from her lover's near death.
In other poems, Rosner continues to establish this unique, cheeky-risky eroticism: for example, in the "Carnivore Love Song" (in a necrophilic way), dedicated to a lover who prepares a chicken stuffed with rice and raisins: / and puts it in the oven / until the house is filled with its smell, / and in this smell we lie down / until the heat becomes strong enough, / and the meat is soft enough."
So, too, in the name of the "porn", which presents a great deal of fantasy almost violent than the bedroom: "I have to do.
The key point regarding the surrealist-pervert flavor that emerges from Rosner's poems is that it is always about the space of fantasy - reality is a bourgeois, monogamous, rather innocent reality, in which the danger and excitement are exhausted from the crazy imaginary fantasy, where the forbidden and the gross become delightful and pleasant.
It is possible that in this way Rosner gives an opening here precisely to the hidden and most hidden, unspoken mental world of her and of many young bourgeois members of the Y generation (Millennials), members of Rosner's generation (born in 1991).
Rosner's book is signed in a unique division of 15 poems, which deals with the experience of the third generation after the Holocaust.
Also, in the rest of the book, the poet who lives in the security of Tel Aviv is played in the death of the Holocaust: " I have to do it. We will run away, / we will leave you behind".
In another song in this division, "The Answer to the Nazis",
