Product DescriptionIn this, the third volume of his poetry and aphorisms, Joseph Mileck offers us a feast of wit, wisdom, beauty, and biting social commentary. There is plenty of salt and pepper here--and perhaps a little sugar too.About the AuthorJoseph Mileck was born in Sanktmartin, Roumania in 1922, immigrated to Canada in 1926 and again in 1931. He has a B.A. Degree from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario (1945), and a Ph.D. from Harvard University (1950). Joseph was a member of the German Department of the University of California, Berkeley from 1950 to 1991. He has published five books and numerous articles, dealing with such German authors as Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann and Hermann Hesse. He has also edited two cultural-historical books about Sanktmartin, a typical German community in Roumania, and has published a book about that community's dialect. To these scholarly works, published from 1951 to 2003, Joseph has added two collections of his own poetry: A Trail of Poetic Reflections.
