Emanuel Landis, The Vision and Other Poems
(New York: Carlton Press/A Comet Lyceum Book, 1960)

"Emanuel Landis was bom in Russia in the early years of the twentieth century, and was taken to the United States by his parents when he was six years of age. After his graduation from Bushwick High School, Brooklyn, New York, he took a pre-medical course at Long Island College Hospital and studied there for one year. He then turned his interests to the study of law. A graduate of The Brooklyn Law School, he was admitted to the New York State Bar and practiced law for a number of years.

He left his law practice and joined his father in the dental supply business. Illness forced him into semi-retirement . . . .

Some of his poems have appeared in The Arizona Post (Tucson, Arizona), and The New York Daily Mirror.

For reasons of health, he has spent much of his time in Arizona and Florida. He [made] his home in New York City and spen[t] his summers at Mohegan Lake, New York."
