Father Said is the book that fans of Hal Sirowit's international best seller
Mther Said have been waiting for: after all, parents come in pairs. Hal's
mother may have dominated the Sirowitz household with her
overprotective advice and flair for inducing Jewish guilt, but Mr. Sirowitz
had a few bon mots to impart to his son as well. In Father Said, he
teaches Hal important lessons on "How to Be A Humanitarian," and "What
to do When You Burp." Sounds like a typical dad, right? But Mr. Sirowitz's
cautionary tales prove to be as idiosyncratic as his wife's.
Sirowitz is the former poet laureate of Queens and a recipient of many
poetry awards, includinh a New York State Foundation for the Arts
Fellowship.
