Neil Silberblatt

Past Imperfect Neil Silberblatt

Leo Rosten used to quote the Yiddish saying: "If God lived on earth, people would knock out all His windows." After Neil Silberblatt's wonderful poems, with their acerbic humor, ferocious love of life, and exasperation with injustice, heaven had better get the number of a good glazier - I'd be surprised if there's one unbroken pane left.
