Simon Perchik's poems have appeared everywhere: in "big" magazines such as American Poetry Review, The Nation, The New Yorker, Partisan Review, and Poetry, for example; and from "small" presses. Among others, the Elizabeth, Scarecrow, White Pine, and Dusty Dog presses have published his books over the years. Pavement Saw Press will release Hands Collected: The Books of Simon Perchik in Fall 1999. Perchik lives in East Hampton, Long Island.
