Sweet, Menke Katz was a mentor of mine. He passed away in 1991.

His work was published by Smith. He was the only Yiddish poet to also

become widely published in English. Plus, he was the kindest soul anyone

could ever meet. To learn more about Menke, or to support his work posthumously by ordering his books, visit: http://www.dovidkatz.net/menke/menke_americana.htm
