Arik and Company: A Documentary Poem

There've always been questions about Arik.As far back as '52 when a night patrolSpotted figures crossing the sand dunes.Arik told his men to open fire, ask questions later.A poetic exploration of Ariel "Arik" Sharon might sound counterintuitive, like an oxymoron.And true, much of the monologue that Atar Hadari presents us with reads more like spoken history - yet with a deliberate creative twist.Like poetry, these vignettes about Sharon's military career and private milestones may not answer all the questions a reader might have. But, like poetry, they stir up emotions, push buttons, confirm - or maybe shake up - opinions and beliefs as they sketch a rich and agitating portrait of a divisive and contentious figure in Israeli politics.
