NOTES An Israeli poet has writer's block but that's the least of his

worries and perhaps the cause of his blocked creativity.

His brother has been blinded during the Yom Kippur war. His

wife has died after along illness. And his son has severe

learning difficulties which mean the father has to care for him

day and night.

One positive thing is that the father won't put his son in an

institution.
