Merle Molofsky

Good morning, everyone.  We first met Merle Molosky on a cold winter’s day, and now, here we are, in full — and very hot or very rainy — summer!

Merle Molofsky, MFA, NCPsyA, is a psychoanalyst in private practice. She serves on the faculties of the Training Institute of NPAP and of Harlem Family Institute (HFI), and the Advisory Council of HFI.

Ms. Molosky is a member of the Editorial Board of The Psychoanalytic Review and of The International Journal of Controversial Discussions.  In 2012 she received the Gravida Award in Poetry from the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP). She is also a playwright and writer of fiction.  Her play, Koolaid, directed by Jack Gelber, was produced at Lincoln Center, and her novel, Streets 1970  (2015) and short-story collection, Necessary Voices (2019), both of which had introductions by Gerald J. Gargulio, were published by IPBooks.

It’s my pleasure to share the following three poems by Merle Molosky:
