Yair Hurvitz (Hebrew: יאיר הורביץ; 1941–1988[1]), also known as Yair Horowitz,[2] was an Israeli poet who began publishing poetry in the 1960s, he was a member of the "Tel Aviv Poets" group.[3] His poems mark a return to the tradition of Haim Nachman Bialik. According to literary critic, Ariel Hirschfeld, a poem by Hurvitz comes close "to an invocation, to the creation of a visionary world by means of the word."[4]
He died in 1988 at the age of 47 from the heart disease that had plagued him since childhood.[5]
