He eventually made the 1993 Nuyorican Poetry Slam team and competed in the 1993 National Poetry Slam along with his Nuyorican teammates Maggie Estep\, Tracie Morris\, and Regie Cabico. \nHe would later perform his poetry on stages across the country\, and on television programs such as MTV’s Spoken Word: Unplugged and PBS’s The United States of Poetry. He wrote five books of poetry: Mother Said\, My Therapist Said\, Father Said\, During and After\, and Stray Cat Blues. He was the best-selling translated poet in Norway\, where Mother Said has been adapted for the stage and turned into a series of animated cartoons. He has been translated into thirteen languages. \nSirowitz was a 1994 recipient of an NEA Fellowship in Poetry and was the Poet Laureate of Queens. He worked as a special education teacher in the New York public school system for 23 years and was married to the writer Minter Krotzer\, who will be attending. \nTom Devaney and Jeff Lee as Hosts \n  \nPurchase the anthology featuring over 30 poets honoring Hal and his legacy.  \nRegister Here for Virtual
