Yair Hurvitz was born in 1941, in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Yair Hurvitz lived his entire life in Tel Aviv, Israel, and was known as one of the "Tel-Aviv Poets," a group of Israeli poets who emerged in the 1960s. Other poets in this group included Meir Wieseltier, Ahon Shabtai, and Yona Wallach. Writing in Hebrew, Hurvitz and his fellow avant-garde poets believed the poetry of the 1950s to be repressive and experimented with new poetic forms in an effort to take a break from earlier Hebrew poetic forms. The Tel Aviv Poets, as they became known, conducted readings at universities, hotels, and nightclubs and sometimes would mix readings of English and Hebrew poetry and music. They often sold broadsheets of their poetry at these readings, which were usually well attended. The group often published in the Hebrew literary journals Achsahv and Siman Kriah.
