"The apocalypse referred to in the title of the book
may indeed be upon us, but Waldman is keeping these
shopping lists, showing us ways out, giving us hope, allowing
us to live inside the poems for their duration on the page,
taking us by the collar, and making us listen. Listen close."

Born in the Bronx after the Second World War, Harvey Waldman fled to Northern California as a teenager. Street theatre anti-war activist, dishwasher, farm worker, oil refinery boilermaker, taxi driver, barista, librarian, Santa Claus.
Lead actor in 1976 feature film, Off the Wall. A father in need of a more sustaining career, he spent over forty years in film and TV production, most recently as Producer of the TV series
Manifest for Netflix. All while poetry lurked, awaiting its turn-a passionate, unkempt cousin long ignored. He and the film editor Camilla Toniolo have homes in New York and Northern Italy.
