Ars poetica (Hebrew: ערס פואטיקה‎‎) is a contemporary Israeli poetry group. The name is at once a riff on Horace's Art of Poetry, and on Israeli slang term, ars, which means pimp in Arabic, but in contemporary Hebrew slang is a derogatory name for Mizrachi men. The group was started in about 2013 by Israeli poet Adi Keissar. Roy Hasan and Erez Biton are among the more notable members.
