Im Inter-Röhricht
Alter sag
Wo ist mein Orient

4.
Hierzulande
wo so schnell gesiegt wird -
gesiegt und besiegt -
gebaut und zerstört -
gepflanzt und vertilgt
ist keine Zeit für das Leid
ungelobt
loben wir Gott
bigott

5.
Wir 'chartern' eilig
hin wo es blüht
naturschutzbefohlen
Atem zu holen
unter letzten Fetzen
freigelassenen Himmels -

stotternd und stolpernd im Inter-Röhrricht
suchen wir den Orient.

* 07.03.1924, Czernowitz, Ukraine
† 11.11.2011, Jerusalem, Israel

Ilana Shmueli is a writer from Israel who was born as Liane Schindler in Czernowitz (Bukovina) in 1924. Her father was a factory owner, her mother came from a Viennese Jewish family. Shmueli attended a Romanian school until 1940 and afterwards, until 1941, a Yiddish school.

The family could escape deportation and fled to Palestine in 1944 where Ilana Shmueli studied Music, Social Work, and Criminology. She worked as social pedagogue in Tel Aviv for many years. Later she lived in Jerusalem. Ilana Shmueli died on November 11, 2011.

Ilana Shmueli was, among others, acquainted with Oskar Kokoschka and Rose Ausländer. She was a friend of Paul Celan. She met Celan again in Paris in 1965. He visited her in Jerusalem in 1969. The schoolday friends were closely connected by both their interest in music and poetry. Until Celan's death, an active exchange of letters started which Ilana Shmueli published in 2004.

She translates from Hebrew and German and began to write poetry quite late in her life. Her poems and autobiographical prose texts are published in various magazines and anthologies. She published several books in Rimbaud Verlag.

In 2009 she received the Theodor Kramer Prize of the Theodor Kramer Society, which is awarded to authors writing in a context of resistance or exile.
