Before, During, and After: Poems

With Mother Said, Hal Sirowitz introduced the world to his overprotective, overwrought mother. In My Therapist Said, he showcased his neuroses. In his new book, Before, During, and After, he explores his tumultuous (and sometimes nonexistent) sex life. In a series of witty poems, he shares the ups and downs of his romantic history from tortured adolescence to not-much-better adulthood in his poetically comic stroll through life as a beleaguered mama's boy.
