Ars poetica (Israel)
Ars poetica is a contemporary Israeli poetry group.
The name is at once a riff on Horace's Art of Poetry, and on the term, ars, which means pimp in Arabic, and in Israeli slang is a derogatory name for Mizrachi men with connotations of vulgar mannerism.
The group was started in about 2013 by Israeli poet Adi Keissar. Roy Hasan and Erez Biton are among the more notable members.
