Daniel Polsky, shines his introspective light as well as his empathy and belief in the power of the human spirit through the character portraits, odes to loved ones and thoughts about life and suffering. He exposes the irony and humor of life, but also its loneliness and emptiness. The essays display the author's insight regarding love and the human condition. They are the result of, to borrow the phrase from the author, "the maturing of the wine of life." The clear thread that runs through the writings is the appreciation of love and making it possible to "meet" him even posthumously. Several of the spiritual poems were published in the Jewish Studies Journal of Queens College, Spring 2013. Poets House was added hardcover and paperback copies of "Thoughts of Being" by Daniel Polsky to their collection and are listed in their Directory of "American Poetry" and website: www.poetshouse.org.
