Person
Theodore Eisenberg's life as a poet began at age four, learning
to recite Kipling's The Ballad of East and West, as his father read
from the bathtub. After college at Cornell, he veered toward
the pragmatic, attending Georgetown Law. His legal career
blossomed into more than anticipated, as he became managing
partner of Grotta, Glassman and Hoffman, a labor law firm in
New Jersey, which ultimately merged with a national firm, Fox
Rothschild LLP.
Along the way, he undertook leadership positions in the
environmental movement and within the Jewish community.
More importantly, he married Karen, his wife of forty years, and
had four children, followed by five grandchildren and counting.
In 2014, he retired from the practice of law, after 38 years, to
return to poetry-the unrealized aspiration of his childhood.
His poems have appeared, or will appear, in The Listening Eye,
Midstream, Jewish Currents, The Aurorean, Podium, Poetica,
Thema, Rattle, Halfway Down the Stairs, Slipstream Press,
Crosswinds Press and The Ragged Sky Anthology. This is the first
book arising from that first inkling.
