About the Author
Lou Lipsitz has published three books of poems, a political play, a textbook on American politics, and articles and reviews in the field of psychotherapy. Born in Brooklyn, he moved to North Carolina where, for thirty years, he taught political science in Chapel Hill. He left academics to become a psychotherapist, specializing in men's issues and life transitions. Throughout this time he has continued writing and publishing poetry. His poems have been widely anthologized and used in teaching literature. He was recipient of an NEA Writer's Grant and won the Allen Ginsburg prize in 2002. His newer poems take a more psychological perspective on personal development and family relationships. His writing is characterized by a searching personal honesty, a trenchant boldness, and a good bit of unexpected humor. Most of all, his images and surprising twists remain with the reader.
