Abstract
. .1 seem to Uve/ a smaller person that I was ... Hilda Raz writes in her third collection of poetry. This constellation, composed around reverber ating experience of breast cancer, constitutes a set of emotional documents on human feeling in one individual, female self. At times this self seems small indeed, shrunk by fear, as in chilling Mu, where Raz images a children's slide in park at midnight as the mouth of metal tunnel into darkness she must traverse when she goes under knife. But to be prey to fear is human. Smallness in these poems is actually a metaphor for a self transformed.
