Yitzhak Lamdan was born in Mlinov, Ukraine in 1899 and received a religious and secular education. During World War I he was cut off from his family and wandered through southern Russia with his brother who was later killed in a pogrom. Lamdan became a Communist and volunteered for the Red Army. Disillusioned, he briefly returned to Mlinov, now in Poland, and began to publish Hebrew poetry. He immigrated to Eretz Yisrael in 1920, and worked as a ḥaluts, building roads and working on farms. In 1934 he founded the literary monthly Gilyonot, devoting himself exclusively to literature, and was a member of the Hebrew Writers' Association. His most famous poem is Massadah (1927).
