Autorenporträt
Barbara Hantman, Queens College, CUNY Phi Beta Kappa and veteran of challenging high school teaching placements in New York City, has written a final opus to guide the gray-haired as they retire to the "Life of Riley." Mother-daughter relationships and the loss of a beloved Matriarch are poignantly depicted in "Mama Waxing and Waning." Senior love is shown to be a "unicorn gem." The beauty of New York State -- not to be underrated -- is captured in "Knickerbocker Nature." Old Testament roots are lauded in "Call of the Lordly Tribe" and "Cycle of Sacred Time." How better to end KNICKERBOCKER HARMONIES than by expounding the adored, shared American values reflected in a chapter entitled, "The Patriot's Mindset"?
