Calls from the Outside World
Poetry. The twelfth collection from poet Robert Hershon, CALLS FROM OUTSIDE THE WORLD, treats with equal ire the mundane and the ethereal, the monotonously present and the speculatively possible. "In the restaurant at the end of the world/ the waiters continue to serve/ and they still accept credit cards," he writes in one poem. "Bob Hershon's unsentimental eye for the touchingly odd, the amusingly odd, and the odd that needs correcting because it represents an important failure on the part of a person or a society is everywhere present in this terrific new book. Hershon is the Master of Brooklyn, Baseball, The Movies, Childhood, Restaurants, European Travel, and a lot besides. These funny, trenchant poems both enrich and ennoble our daily lives"--Charles North.

Unveiling: Poems and Paintings
Renown Brooklyn poet's last poems in collaboration with his daughter's paintings Unveiling is a poet and painter collaboration in the New York School tradition. Twenty poems by acclaimed Brooklyn poet Robert Hershon alternating with sixteen paintings by his daughter Elizabeth Hershon, a painter, ceramicist, and poet. Bob Hershon was one of four co-founders of Hanging Loose in 1966; he remained active with the press until his death in 2021. A widely published poet himself and a native Brooklynite, he was part of New York City's poetry scene for more than a half-century. The poems included in this volume include all of his last written work. Bob Hershon also maintained a close connection with the New York art world, counting many painters among his friends. Elizabeth Hershon, Bob's daughter, is a teacher, and the art editor of Hanging Loose. She lives in the East Village, but grew up in Brooklyn. Bob approached her in 2020 with the idea of doing a book together: her paintings and his poems. The result is Unveiling. Poetry. Art.
