The poetry of Y.Ogen has been cast aside from modern Hebrew Poetry inner circle of the 1930's due to its affiliation to the some what forgotten poetic group of the poet Yitzhak Lamdan who was the literary editor of 'Gilionot' literary monthly. The mystic and melodic literary course permeated at the beginning of the 1930s' to the Hebrew Poetry by that circle's special style, first and foremost due to Ogen's writing, has by many aspects, foreseen the late 1930's modernism, such as Alterman's Poetry. Ogen's book 'Ba-hizdakchut' (Gilionot, 1935) has generated a tacit Altermanic revolution, that has not been fully acknowledged, because of the expulsion of Gilionot Circle from the critical discourse of the poetic modernity of the time. The monography of Y.Ogen describes in details this poetic course of action in a manner separated from the 'Literary Republic' conventional discourse, that has ultimately linked between modernistic strategies and violent culture quarrels and poetic strategies of annihilation of old traditions in favor of a new style. The critical discourse hereby discussed – literary ecology – deals with the poetic habitat and writer's cultural environment and rehabilitates outcasted poets by reinsuring their formative influence upon the esthetical climate, especially by pointing out the writer's poetical skills as a form of an artistic niche in an environment which characteristics are both cultural and materialistic.
