ing Jewish poet from Soviet
Georgia, who died July 25 at
the age of 38. Gaponov arrived
in Israel on May 27, 1971, after
undergoing brain surgery in
Leningrad to remove a tumor.
Ho was hospitalized nearly 14
months following his arrival
and never regained his power
of speech. Gaponov’s mother,
who accompanied him to Israel,
claimed that Soviet authorities
had delayed his exit visa until
he contracted meningitis. The
Wilna-born Gaponov taught
himself Hebrew secretly in So
viet Georgia and subsequently
won, in absentia, Israel’s pres
tigious Tchernichovsky Award
for 1969 for his Hebrew trans
lation of ‘The Man in the
Tiger’s Skin,” a 1669-stanza
12th century epic poem. Geor
gian authorities charged him
with possessing illegal writings,
supervised his personal meetings
and confiscated all his manu
scripts before he left the USSR.
