About

My father, Norman Pearl (July 8, 1935-November 9, 2004), was born in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Gladys & Herbert Pearl. He succumbed to prostate cancer after a nearly three-year struggle. In his younger days, he had been an aspiring writer, and returned to writing poetry several times during his life. I will be presenting as much of his writings as I can find, along with any commentary or reminiscences that come to me. He was no saint, but he was a good man. This is my tribute to him.

    What a beautiful tribute to your dad. You should consider making a book in the future.

    I agree, this would make a terrific book proposal. Your dad is a wonderful poet and your initiative is a great perspective for a bookseller.
