Hedva Harechavi is acclaimed to be one of the great Hebrew poets of our time. Aged 83 in 2025, fierce, with her black cowboy boots, somewhat bent over as if intent to catch up and listen to what she has just missed, Harechavi is widely loved for her hypnotic performative poetry and her ecstatic and direct personal voice. She is admired by younger poets, poetry lovers, and a wide Israeli audience for her courage to voice "the unconscious," the "mad," and the traumatic. She is appreciated for her power to express "what cannot be said," for her simultaneous encompassing of the erotic and the prosaic, for her open musical forms, and for her wild language that circulates from the holy to the profane. Above all, her readers are captivated by her multivocality, which shifts between the passionate female lover and the grief-stricken mother. Her poetry has received major literary recognition, including the Yehuda Amichai Prize (2010), the Bialik Award (2014), the Leah Goldberg Literary Award (2020), and the Arik Einstein Award for contributions to Israeli culture (2023). Most recently, Migo was awarded the Zelda Prize for Poetry (2023).
