The Story of the Milkman and Other Poems

""Alan Walowitz?s poetry can provoke out-loud laughter and pensive melancholy; better still, he can even do both in the same poem. He has a particular talent for reconstructing recollections, quietly showing us what is moving about them and why, as in this volume?s splendid title poem."" ~ Robert Wexelblatt, author of 'The Posthumous Papers of Sidney Fein' ""What I love about Alan Walowitz?s poems, is the very relatable way in which he captures so many of life?s important moments with astute observation, wry humor, and empathy. He has a distinctive voice which infiltrates my synapses and resonates with my heart."" ~ Betsy Mars, author of 'Alinea' ""Alan Walowitz is neither withholding nor unnecessarily oblique. And then there?s the welcome wit, as he juggles the sometimes Jewish-blues in deft narratives that never cease to surprise. In his refusal to claim wisdom, he is wise. And oh, so rare to turn a breath into a gasp."" ~ Estha Weiner, author of 'at the last minute'
