HERB SIEGEL has assembled two collections of poems over a span of fifty years. One is “Poems For The Universe”, and the other is “Poems From My Drawer.” His attraction to poetry has led him on a journey ranging from writing about self-indulging personal experiences to researching and writing on subjects of universal interest---then adding his own touch of sardonic humor and hope to them. His early poems appeared in the NY Times and other anthologies, and he is a regular contributor to open mic forums of Poets in Nassau.
