About the Author:
Maurice Bassan was born and raised in The Bronx in a working-class immigrant family. He served on army posts, assembly lines, and restaurants before completing his education at New York University and UC Berkeley. He has marched in union parades in Manhattan; he marched in support of the student strike at San Francisco State University (where he taught for many years); and his marching continued in the streets of San Francisco in the years of U. S. aggression in Vietnam and Iraq. Bassan is currently teaching at the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning in San Francisco. His recent books under the Xlibris imprint include Haight Ashbury Sketches (2003, writing as Morris Bassan) and Twice-Told Poems (2008).
