Hal's mother may have dominated the Sirowitz household with her overly-protective advice and flair for inducing Jewish guilt, but Mr. Sirowitz had a few bon mots to impart to his son as well. In FATHER SAID, he teaches Hal important lessons on \"How to Be a Humanitarian,\" \"The Meaning of Racism,\" \"What to Do When You Burp,\" \"Being a Good Citizen,\" \"Why God Created Eve,\" \"How to Avoid Being Idle,\" and \"Taking Your Fun While You Can.\" Sounds like a typical dad, right? But Mr. Sirowitz's cautionary tales prove to be as idiosyncratic as his wife's. In FATHER SAID, Hal gives us a wonderfully funny and tender portrait of his dear old Dad, from childhood memories to his death from cancer. Fathers, mothers, and their sons and daughters everywhere will recognize something of themselves in the Sirowitz family--and while they laugh at their arguments and their nagging, they will also feel the love and familial affection running strongly through these poems. MOTHER SAID sold 20,000 copies and has been translated into nine languages. Both MOTHER SAID and MY THERAPIST SAID\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Skull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932360271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.80w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/21\/2004 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hal Sirowitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107804967093,"sku":"9781932360271","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_383ed0c2-88dc-41e3-81f0-adea4bf527bf.jpg?v=1765862436","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/father-said-poems-9781932360271","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
