Poets across the world

When the languages of the worlds people got confused at Babel, they were no longer able to understand each other.There are so many languages around the world, yet to be able to understand them is a difficult task, today , with various sources of technology, we are provided with a platform to unravel the wisdom, nuggets of truth, various expressions present in them.

The poets across the world , be they from any region and any language , each through their own experiences have expressed through their works , much about their culture and traditions.Its beautiful to find the hint of that region through these few penned words.

The Jewish poet from Germany, Yehudi Amichai's poems were very meaningful and touching.I specially liked the one portraying the Arab-Jew conflict.
I hope to digg , more about this poet in future.
