About Michael Silverstein: Over the years Silverstein has written more than a dozen books on a variety of subjects in both prose and verse. His ground-breaking 1989 The Environmental Factor (Longman), and highly acclaimed 1993 The Environmental Economic Revolution (St. Martin’s Press) have both been used as university and business school texts, and translated into several foreign languages. His Songs Of Wall Street, a unique collection of satirical verse on financial themes done in conjunction with Kay Wood, was published by Running Press in 2001. His Planet Of The Financial Planners and Little Book Of Boston Parking Horrors, also co-authored with Kay Wood, are cult classics.
More than 300 of Silverstein’s freelance pieces on a wide variety of subjects have appeared in newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, the Philadelphia Inquirer, The Chicago Tribune, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; in business magazines such as CFO and Chemical Week; and in scholarly journals such as Business & Society Review. He’s been a business columnist for the Boston Phoenix and the Los Angeles Times, and taught courses in the new environmental economics at New York University.
His droll and insightful market commentary in verse was regularly featured on National Public Radio and also broadcast on FNN, AP Radio, Blooomberg Radio, and the BBC. Profiles of him and his poetry have appeared in USA Today, The Washington Post, and The New York Post.
Kay Wood is a Philadelphia artist who has received numerous awards and has an extensive exhibition history with shows in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
One political poet to another, good luck!
