Judith Kerman comments:
"The poet's voice explores the distances of desire with a quiet yearning equally moving in both languages, a romanticism in which the strangeness and distance of the world illuminate and map the strangeness and distance of the beloved."

In its Hebrew original, this collection of intense erotic poetry won the 1992 AKUM prize in Israel. Novelist Tsipi Keller says, "It is hard to speak of Rachel Eshed’s poetry without mentioning 'fire' – her poems virtually burn on the page, and David Cooper’s renditions not only do justice to the original but magnify its richness."
