Seree's art, poetry and flash fiction are influenced by the landscapes of Australia, her country of birth, and by two decades of farming in Israel. Seree, mother of four, currently lives in Jerusalem; she lectures in Europe on Biblical texts, focusing on the intersection of literal and esoteric in Genesis; and collaborated with Alan Sullivan on "Psalms of King David", a new versified translation https://www.fortmandan.com/store/

Seree Zohar

And while Vivaldi plays

Last rays of sunset
Kiss nested fledglings goodnight –
Tree snakes hiss good hunting.

Tiger-lilies pink
our heatwaved home, unopened.
Stems, bowed, seethe to slime.

Relieved trees relax.
Their shading done, leaves curl up
Spooned in wind's embrace.

Frozen lake, you hide
my lucent glow.

Arrest, Moon,
this fresh coat of snow.
