Biography
His poems mark a return to the tradition of Haim Nachman Bialik. According to literary critic, Ariel Hirschfeld, a poem by Hurvitz comes close "to an invocation, to the creation of a visionary world by means of the word." He died in 1988 at the age of 47 from the heart disease that had plagued him since childhood.
