The funniest compilation of motherisms I've seen; I loved this book and recommend it highly

A young Norw. author called Erlend Loe found this book in New York, fell in love with it, translated it and made his publisher give it out in the matter of months. I do not know the figures, but it is selling really good here, along with the follow-up.I think this alone describes how great it is.

Hal Sirowitz's poems will stay with you for a long time. They are carefully crafted works of art that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. I am looking forward to My Therapist Said.

I am tired of seeing non-intergrated shtick being passed off as literature,. I consider myself a contemporary personage not a photocopy of a previous stereotypye. Why doesn't Mr. Sirowitz evolve.

Hal uses a sarcastic and poetic style about him, that reminds me of Woody Allen. His brilliant style of writing reflects his love for his mother. You could feel the warmth and bond he had with his mother. The poems reflects his early adolescents to his growth as a man. I could not stop laughing at the poems because I was able to reflect similar situations in my very own life. Hal's poems have uplifted my spirits and have made me retrospect the hilarious moments I have indulged in with my mother. Not only is this material hysterical, but it puts you in a frenzy in which you are not sure when you will be laughing your brains out.

More hilarious and touching poems by a unique and masterful poet. Sirowitz has a deceptively simple style that packs a powerful punch. Highly recommended!
