The Stoop

Moving from childhood to retirement, "The Stoop" covers a wide range of subject matter. Several poems explore growing up in Brooklyn, New York in the 1950s and 1960s, which include painful and humorous memories. Many poems reflect on cinematic, literary, and artistic works which have made a lasting impact on the writer. The final section engages with some contemporary issues the author navigates as he deals with aging and retirement. The collection includes a poem ("The Minimalist") that won first place in the Common Ground Review annual poetry contest (2011).
