Snow Hangs on the Branches of Evergreens

In Snow Hangs on the Branches of Evergreens, Stuart P. Radowitz gives the reader a remarkable gift, a gift of beautiful poems, each a sparkling faceted gem, evoking in ripples of memory the shadow architecture of life, each place a moment with all the contradictions of the natural world and all its inhabitants.  There is magic here, for through these poems, Stuart takes the ephemeral and makes it immutable.

Stuart P. Radowitz, a Long Island poet, has had a long and successful career in business and education. He is presently an instructor in the English Department at Molloy College, teaching creative writing and critical reading classes.

Stuart looks to nature as a canvas for spirituality and a portal to our souls. His travels have influenced much of his writings. Stuart has been published in various literary journals and has read his poems throughout the New York area including his poem “Closer to God” at Bethany French Baptist Church in Jamaica, NY in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his poem “Peconic Bay” at the Walt Whitman Birthplace in Huntington, NY in honor of Walt Whitman’s Bicentennial. He also participated in poetry readings for Poets in Nassau, Bards Initiative’s annual book launch, Nassau County Poet Laureate Society’s annual book launch, Mid-Island Y JCC’s poetry reading series, Performance Poets Association, and the Molloy College poetry series. 

Stuart has his master’s degree in creative writing and literature from Colorado State University and has studied as an undergraduate at Syracuse University with W. D. Snodgrass, Philip Booth, and Donald Justice.

He lives with his wife Sherry, Violet the cat, two aquatic turtles (Mr. & Mrs. T), and his giant 60lb. tortoise, Snuffy. His daughter Stephanie, her husband Dave, granddaughter Emily, and grandson Ryan live in the Connecticut hills.
