Adi Keissar (in Hebrew: עדי קיסר; born December 11, 1980) is an Israeli poet, and founder of the cultural group Ars Poetica.[2] From a young age, Keissar experienced bullying and discrimination because of her dark skin color, and according to her, she came to understand that she belongs to a low social status group.After an extended trip to South America and some time in New York, Keissar returned to Israel, and began working as a cultural reporter for a local Jerusalem newspaper.[4] She began reading such poets as Sami Shalom Chetrit, Yona Wallach, Yehuda Amichai, Dahlia Ravikovich, Vicki Shiran, Erez Biton, and Miri Ben-Simhon - and started writing her own works.[2] Keissar's poems have appeared in a wide variety of newspapers, magazines and journals in Israel and around the world, as well as in several anthologies and multiple websites.
