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 the term ars, which means pimp in Arabic, and in Israeli Hebrew slang "low-life," a derogatory term for Mizrachi men with connotations of vulgar mannerisms.[1]

The group was started in about 2013 by Israeli poet Adi Keissar. Roy Hasan and Erez Biton are among the more notable members.[1][2][3][4][5]
