MICHAEL SCHOLNICK

A significant presence at the St. Mark's Poetry Project and the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe, Michael Scholnick was one of a number of poets whose work successfully bridged the gap between the New York School and the Beats. The editors have compiled sixty poems for this publication from four manuscripts-two poems which are published here for the first time.

Scholnick addresses truth and beauty in an original way. He brings to light items hidden yet at once revealing-some particular offbeat detail that casts a new perspective on the moment. His poems illuminate, in an extraordinary and expansive way, love of life and family in New York City.
