David Horowitz of 4081 Monte-
rey, a Hebrew teacher who has
been active in several Jewish
and civic movements in Detroit,
is among the newcomers to
poets' corner whose works have
been published.
Mr. Horowitz's book, "The
Poet's Answer," was issued last
week by Exposition Press, 1
Spruce St., New York.
Holding a B. A. from Detroit
City College, Mr. Horowitz, a
Dormer Indianapolis resident, has
contributed poems and articles
to the English-Jewish and Yid-
dish press. He also writes "fre-
quently to the letters-to-the-
editor columns of local news-
papers and; signs them "D. H."
Mr. Horowitz is especially
proud of the reception his book
has been given in his home town
of Indianapolis, where his wife
and four children reside. He
dedicated his book "To My
Adolescent Children," which is
the title of the first poem.
One of his poems, "American-
ism," has an interesting ap-
proach. The poem reads:
Sehb—ols '
You've got to be a man
First before you can be
A real American.
I therefore say
To every man and woman,
"Be human."
Act the human way;
Study the A.B.C.,
At least, of humanism,
By all means, please do!
And then—I'll talk • to you
About Americanism.
Mr. Horowitz is represented in
two anthologies, "My Favorite
Poems" and "United Sons of
America," and-will be represent-
ed another to be published soon
under the title "Of America We
Sing."
