Aviva-no is written by Shimon Adaf and published by Alice James Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1948579618 (ISBN 10) and 9781948579612 (ISBN 13).

In the original text alongside the English translation, Adaf blends contemporary colloquial Hebrew, Arabic, and old Aramaic with biblical, Talmudic, and Rabbinic intertextualities. The collection is a powerful lamentation for Adaf’s sister, Aviva, who died at 43. Written from a witness of Israeli society, the daily violence taking place makes the grief reverberating through the poems both personal and palpable.
