Writing about Soccer
Very little has been written about soccer in Israel from a critical, class, social, gender, queer and political perspectives. Both the academia and the field of fine literature, have positioned soccer in the narrow field of Folklore and Popular Culture, thus disregarding it.

Red: Social poetry of working class
It seems that for years, no class poetry has been written in Israel and certainly has not been defined as such. But today the situation has changed. After years of silence it is possible and desirable to write red poetry. We see in the collection of poems a new union of workers and a large-scale printed proof beneath the surface, full of writing on class issues.
