Born in Germany, a retired film editor, Walter’s poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Barrow Street, and many others. A resident of New York City, Walter has summered in Vermont for many years. The American Book Review said of his poetry collection, The Jew’s Harp, “These are poems of an open spirit toward God and His people.” The book is a remarkable celebration of family, of tradition, and of living through terrible and wonderful times. The obvious themes are love and survival. The controlled lyric and narrative voice of the poems is that of a son, and grandson, speaking about his father, mother, wife, children and grandchildren; they speak of the agony of loss and the joy of retrieval; they speak of journeys, from Hitler's Germany, to Ecuador, to safety in America, and a new life. Join the celebration with this wonderful poet, and take home a copy of this amazing collection of his work.
