Anat Zecharia (born in 1974 in Tel Aviv, Israel) is a prizewinning poet, dance critic, writer and editor. She studied photography in Haifa and Hebrew Culture in Tel Aviv. Since 2009 she has been dance critic for the magazine Yedioth Aharonot. She was an active member of the Artists' Greenhouse for Social Activism, a group at the Musrara School of Photography & Media in Jerusalem. Her poems have been translated into several languages including Albanian, Swedish, Arabic, Chinese and English. Zecharia writes in plain language about sexuality, desire and the yearning for power. She also establishes political cross-connections in her poems. The web magazine Parnassus: Poetry in Review writes about her, “Zecharia is an outspoken young poet who writes forthrightly about women’s desires. She does not ignore the times when being on either side of the power equation is part of erotic experience, and she casts her light on the way Israeli politics influences Israeli sex lives.” She has received several prizes for her work including the Levi Eshkol Prime Minister’s Literary Award for writers and the Street Prize Award from the city of Tel Aviv.
