"Tali Cohen-Shabtai's second book, “PROTEST” offers challenging poetics, protesting. Cohen-Shabtai places parts of sentences in clashing, disorientating relationships, testing - firstly - herself. In spite of the impossible, complex, conflicting existence.

Cohen does not carry in the accepted interpretations and profits and openly allows the reader to penetrate the controversial conventions, in a extraordinary linguistic 'sever'.The poems express a sense of exile.

The conclusion arising as one reads the poems, as the poems stimulate one's intellect and challenge one’s perception of what poetry is, as they leave us astounded."
