A Family Album tells in poetry tales of the joys and sorrows of the author's second generation Jewish childhood with perfectionist parents and a schizophrenic younger sister. Enlivened by sharp humor, the poems paint rich verbal portraits of eccentric aunts and uncles, and the struggles and small triumphs of a family under siege. Paperback, 6x9 in, 36 poems, 23 interior family photos and graphic designs, 144 total pages total.Quiet tone, spare language, and compelling imagery confirm the mysterious capacity of poetry to push us toward a clarity that can move our lives forward. --Jeffrey Hammond, Distinguished Professor, St. Mary's CollegeThis struggle to survive and mature out of the cauldron of immigrant nuclear family tension will inspire anyone who has suffered and surmounted a difficult early family life. --Deborah L. Radzwill, PsyD, Licensed PsychologistThe poems speak of grief and healing, of sadness and epiphany, in connection with and disconnection from an extended family that leaves him both broken and whole. --Alice Rogoff, Editor, Haight-Ashbury Literary Journal
