In "ROOFTOP OF MY LIFE" poet Merle Fischlowitz shares his eight-decade perspective of Family, the Arts, Faith, Travel, and the myriads of people, (lovers, friends, and strangers) that have enriched his life. Merle Fischlowitz has recently published two other volumes of poems. From Dirt Paths to Golden Streets: Poems of Immigrant Experiences (2010) tells stories of individual immigrants from many cultures, their reasons for immigration, and the challenges and benefits of becoming American. Songs of Exotic Birds (2012) contains poems written over sixty years, including poems written in the voices of others that his psychologist's ear has caught at special moments or rites of passage, when irony imbues the experience. Fischlowitz's books are available from AuthorHouse, www.authorhouse.com Order these books through your local bookseller or preferred on-line retailer.
