Hagit Grossman (Hebrew: חגית גרוסמן; born on September 26, 1976, in Rishon LeZion, Israel) is an Israeli poet and novelist.
Grossman went to the Ness Ziona high school, studied photography at "Camera Obscura", theater at "Beit Zvi", painting at "Hamidrasha" Art College, and Hebrew and General Literature at Tel Aviv University.
Her poem "On Friendship", published in The New Yorker,[2] participates in research at a hospital that examines the impact of writing and reading poetry on cancer patients.
[clarification needed] In her first novel, Where they are Not, she manages to tread the fine boundaries between poetry and prose, and best describes a world where the occult and the visible are mutually intertwined.
Her poems deal with the tension between foreignness and love, between death, absence and longing for the past and finding ways to revive it through poetry.
