about current realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. How can one write about the situation without cheapening the death and suffering that goes on there, to write without marring the intent with political agendas, sophistry, subjectivism?Welsh-Israeli poet Jasmine Donahaye takes the Middle-Eastern conflict as the subject of her poetry collection "Self-Portrait as Ruth" and fulfills Adorno's dictum in a wholly unexpected way. She writes poetry that is itself barbaric--sophisticated, complex, informed, yet at its core, barbaric.
