Allen Brafman

Allen Brafman has previously published Sonnets from the Yiddish and Brooklyn 2002, a collaboration with the photographer Harry Tarzian. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where he still lives, he speaks or reads several languages poorly. He holds degrees in English and American literature and in Talmudic studies. At one time or another he has worked in warehouses, university English departments, Jewish religious institutions and in a variety of business ventures. He has held a seat on the board of a local parent-teacher association and a national business association. He is still trying to figure out the interplay between the world in which he lives and the world that lives within him.
