The publication of the new English edition of With an Iron Pen: Twenty Years of Hebrew Protest Poetry, edited Tal Nitzan and Rachel Tzvia Back, includes eighty-eight poems written by forty-two Israeli poets.  It includes the works of preeminent Israeli voices such as Yehuda Amichai, Aharon Shabtai, Dahlia Ravikovitch, Meir Wieseltier, and Natan Zach. The original Hebrew edition, first published in 2005, received accolades in the Israeli press for its comprehensive collection of dissenting voices and for its daring and beautiful poetry.

Adrienne Rich writes of this collection:

"These dissenting Israeli voices, recognized and new, prophetic, raging, heartbroken, challenging, public and intimate, from the moral core of Jewish tradition, have gone almost unheard in America until now. The lyrical range is impressive, the edition scholarly; this is a historic collection".
