Stephen Herz's poems have been widely published. He is a winner of the New England Poet's Daniel Varoujan Prize. The collection, MARKED (NYQ Books, 2014), is the culmination of two chapbooks, a volume of poems Whatever You Can Carry and many new poems that cover the years of this dark, bloody time of death and destruction and evil we call the Holocaust or Shoah. Several schools and universities have adopted Herz's poems as part of their Holocaust studies curricula. Mr. Herz lives in Westport, CT and New York City.
