My Seven Cats

The author of "My Seven Cats" moved to Israel in 1999. During her years in Jerusalem, the writer gradually turned into a great cat lover. This is probably not a big surprise for those who know Jerusalem, which has one of the largest stray-cat populations in the world. Generally, many residents here are happy to feed the cats. Heidemarie Wawrzyn is one of them."My Seven Cats" is the writer's fourth collection of poems, which mirrors her special relationship with cats and invites the reader to learn from them.

Heidemarie Wawrzyn (born in Berlin) studied History of Religions focusing on Jewish culture and religion in Germany during the 19th/20th centuries. She wrote several books on feminism, antisemitism and National Socialism.
When she moved to Israel, she began to work at different German and Jewish institutes in Jerusalem. After her retirement, she started publishing poems. "My Seven Cats" is her forth collection of poetry.
