The Soviet State Publishing House, in Moscow, will issue a 300-page anthology of Hebrew poetry, in Russian translation, early next year, according to an announcement here today by Alexander Poet, an Israeli left-wing poet.
Mr. Penn, who just returned from Moscow, where he attended the Russian Communist-sponsored Soviet Writers Congress, said he will edit the anthology. He declared he will include the poems of 30 Hebrew poets of the present and last generations, including also works by some of the greatest poets in Israel.
He said that the Soviet press recently published translations of works by several Hebrew poets, and has written “favorably” of the revival of Hebrew and modern Hebrew literature.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
