Abstract
This article delves into Leah Goldberg’s cycle ‘From the Songs of My Beloved Land’, offering a different perspective on depth as a literary experience rooted in an embodied and musical engagement with the written text. Departing from previous readings, which are focused on the debate about the obscure identity of ‘My Beloved Land’, the present article proposes an alternative approach,claiming that the poems use poetic devices that invite exploration of this land’s proximity, reality, or metaphorical nature to transform the reading experience into interaction with a resonating body in motion. This interpretation treats the poem not as a static object but as an agent that prompts readers to experience a spatial realm beyond ‘here’ and ‘there’, bridging tangible and imagined places and sounds.
