For over half a century, Lionel was deeply esteemed by associates ranging from Harry Smith and Bruce Conner to Thelonious Monk and Bob Dylan. Per Ira Cohen, “He was much larger than a poet ... He was one of the big secret heroes of the time.”\u003cbr\u003eA prolific author, Ziprin did not write for publication, and only a fragmentary handful of his literary writings saw print while he was alive. \u003ci\u003eSongs for Schizoid Siblings\u003c\/i\u003e is the first manuscript of Ziprin's work to ever be published in its entirety. This book of nearly 300 profound verses, limericks, and esoteric rhymes is startlingly fresh and innovative though written nearly six decades ago, and is accompanied by supplemental materials that provide valuable context for this unheralded genius.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLionel Ziprin\u003c\/b\u003e (1924–2009) was a Jewish mystic, poet and artist, who was born and died on the Lower East Side of New York City.
