About

* 05.09.1937, Jerusalem, Israël
Réside à: Tel Aviv, Israël

Asher Reich was born in Jerusalem in 1937. He grew up isolated from modern life in Jerusalem’s Jewish Orthodox quarter Mea Sharim. He had a strict and purely orthodox upbringing and education, and his schooling was based exclusively on the scriptures. At the age of 18 he took the radical step of leaving the quarter.

After his military service he studied Hebrew Literature and Philosophy at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Reich worked in Tel Aviv as a journalist and editor for several newspapers, as well as teaching Creative Writing at the Be’er Sheva University. Between 1980 and 2002 he was the chief editor of 'Moznain', the literary publication of the Israeli Authors’ Association.

Reichs first poetry volume 'Ha-Shana Ha-Svi’it Le-Nedudai' (Engl: In the Seventh Year) was published in 1961, and won the Anne Frank Award from the American Israeli Cultural Foundation. To date, thirteen poetry volumes have been published, among them 'Zrihat Layla' (1972; Engl: Night Rise), 'Avodot Al Nyar' (1988; Engl: Work on Paper) and 'Musikat Horef' (1996; Engl: Winter Music).

Together with his poetry publications, radio plays and stories, Reich has also published the autobiographical novel 'Zichronot Shel Holeh Schiheha' (1993; Engl: Memoirs of a Forgetful Person). It was written while in Berlin receiving a DAAD grant. He has received a string of awards for his work, including the Israeli Presidential Prize for Literature in 2000.

Asher Reich lives in Tel Aviv.
