The Diameter of the Bomb
by Yehuda Amichai
translated by Chana Bloch and Stephen Mitchell

Yehuda Amichai
Read the short biography on Amichai, then take a look at some of his poetry. Amichai's work was once dubbed, "comic on a grand scale." Do you agree with this assessment? Do you see evidence of this style in "What Kind of a Person"? Write a page agreeing or disagreeing with the author. Start by looking up the literary term comedy.
