Kept on Wikipedia:Shez
Shez (Shaz, Hebrew: ืฉื) (born Efrat Yerushalmi in 1959)[1], is an Israeli writer , poet and playwright. Recipient of the 1999 Ron Adler Prize for Poetry and the 2007 Prime Minister's Prize for Hebrew Literary Works.[1] She is also a musician and a songwriter, described as "the first out lesbian performer in Israel".[2] More recently she has become a facilitator of writing workshops and "weight loss through writing" workshops.[3]
She was born in Kiryat Ono to Avraham and Ada Yerushalmi. She was subject to incest, which was reflected in her poems and books.[4] She changed her name ("Shez" is a Hebrew contraction of shem zman "temporary name") at the age of 25, trying to distance herself from the past.[4]
She studied theatre at Thelma Yellin School.[4]
She is described as a "provocative and extroverted lesbian" and her poetry is "outrageous, blunt and violent and leave not even a narrow crack for sentimentality and compassion".[4]
