A draft of a poem, handwritten by Uri Zvi Grinberg on both sides of the leaf [ca.1950-1953].
On one side appears (handwritten in pencil) a draft of the poem "Shir Shalhey Kayitz 5710” [1950]. This is an early draft: The poem was published in Grinberg's book "Rehovot HaNahar, Sefer HaIlyot ve HaKoach" (Shocken: Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv, 1954), found on page 378 with numerous variations in comparison with the draft presented here. The expression used for the title to this important book – "Rehovot HaNahar" is derived from this very poem. However, as it appears, on the other side of the leaf of the presented draft, Grinberg sketched out in pen and in large characters, an alternative name for the book's title which proves that at some point he meant to use the title "Dam MiDami” [Blood of my Blood] and not "Rehovot HaNahar". Leaf 21.5X21 cm. Good condition. Minor spotting and minor folding marks.
