Naomi Cherkofsky ACROSS THE MARSHES 1st Edition Signed.
$125.00
About the Author Naomi Cherkofsky, born in the brickyard section of West Lynn, Massachusetts, attended Classical High School, in Lynn, and has since been engaged, intermittently, in office work. Her life has been a simple, happy pattern of her home life and community activities, and each of the poems in her book is drawn from an experience in her own background. She and her husband, Morris Aaron Cherkofsky, have two sons, John, who has returned from three years' Army service, and Saul, now attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. All, she says, are the not-so-proud slaves of a mongrel, mostly collie, who sheds hairs all over the house and won't let anyone come near it. Mrs. Cherkofsky has been active in several community projects-has been a YMHA and a YMCA leader, has done Campfire work, has served as a leader of the 4-H Club in Saugus and as an American Red Cross Gray Lady. Presently she is employed as secretary to Ernest Jacoby, director of the North Bennet Street Industrial School, a trade school and settlement house in Boston's North End, in the back yard of Old North Church-an area of great historical interest. This year she plans to resume her volunteer work at Bedford Veterans Administration Hospital, where she visits with patients and plays the piano. ACROSS THE MARSHES, her first published volume of verse, reflects the friendly, thoughtful spirit of a busy and useful life.
