ROKEAḤ, DAVID (1916–1985), Hebrew poet. Born in Lvov, Rokeaḥ settled in Palestine in 1934, working as an engineer, and first published lyrical poems in 1935. His books of poetry are: Be-Gesher ha-Yi'ud (1939), Yamim Ashenim (1941), Mo'adei Ergah (1954), Arar alei Shaham (1958), Kinno shel Yam (1963), Mi-Kayiẓ el Kayiẓ (1964), Shaḥar le-Helekh (1965), Einayim la-Sela (1967), and Ve-Lo Ba Yom Aḥer (1969).
