Martin H. Levinson was born in New York City and grew up in Brooklyn, a place known for wisecrackers who specialize in sarcasm and satire. He has published ten books and numerous articles and poems. He is a member of the Authors Guild, National Book Critics Circle, PEN America; book review editor for ETC: A Review of General Semantics, and contributing editor to The Satirist. He particularly enjoys writing satires, and has been penning them for as long as he can remember. He also enjoys walking in the woods on the North Fork of Long Island and kicking back with a chilled Riesling along with chill discussions on the state of this wonderful, woebegone, wacky world.
