The author says in his introduction: "These aphorisms, petite narratives, whatever they are, were written over a period of two weeks in the Spring of 2002. They represent my feelings during that time, feelings that were angry, arch, focused, political, and unified. They also reflect both my reading and the sheer accident of my experience."
GERALD STERN, the son of Polish and Ukrainian immigrants, grew up in Pittsburgh. He is the author of twelve books of poetry and a collection of personal essays. He is the recipient of many awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, three NEA Fellowships, the Ruth Lilly Prize, and the National Book Award which he won in 1998 for This Time, New and Selected Poems. Stern lives in Lambertville, New Jersey, a small community on the Delaware River, and in New York City.
