Tsipi Keller, who translated Geldman's most recent collection, describes his poetic persona as “Routinely solitary, whether on foot or on his bike, Geldman is a tourist in his own town; Tel Aviv, especially his neighborhood near Kikar Milano, which plays an important role in the poems.” Text: Mordechai Geldman, Years I Walked at Your Side. Translated by Tsipi Keller. Excelsior Editions, 2018.
