Shmuel Yankev Imber (Russian: Шмуэль Яков Имбер, Hebrew: שמואל יעקב אימבר, Polish: Samuel Jakub Imber, also: Samuel Jacob Imber; 24 February 1889 – 1942) was a Jewish poet and publicist writing in Polish and Yiddish languages. He was regarded as one of the originators and trailblazers of Yiddish poetry in Galicia, who popularized it in big intellectual centers, and one of the first neo-romantics of Yiddish poetry.[1]
