Coffee Shop Musings A Collection of Little Rhythmic Thoughts Unbound by Convenience

Simon Perlsweig is a historical writer and researcher who lives in West Hartford, CT and has a B.A. in American Studies from the University of Connecticut, during which time he completed three independent study projects. In 2018, he published his first book, Front Porches to Front Lines, a historical memoir of World War One based on two of those independent studies and inspired by a trove of family letters, one of which discusses what took place on Armistice Day in 1918. While writing his first book, he began to write poetry on the side as a form of light writing and a cure of writer's block. From that he began to write short three-line poems, with a simple A-A-A rhyme scheme. He is currently pursuing a master's degree in history. When not studying or writing, he enjoys baseball, cooking, baking, drawing, gardening, hiking and photography.
