Dr. Milton Cohen is Professor Emeritus of Literary Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas, where he has inflicted his literary opinions on students from 1980 to 2020. Cohen has published seven scholarly books quietly moldering on the shelves of university libraries: two on E. E. Cummings, one on modernist groups before World War I, one on Hemingway’s in our time, and three studying how writers and politics interacted in the 1930s and beyond.
Since retiring, Cohen has turned his hand to writing fiction. Besides The Steins, he has published the war novel, Silverman, the Soldier (Pocol Press, 2023). Previously, he published American Glimpses, a book of three original plays set in the 1930s and 1940s (KDP Press, 2021). One of these plays, The Five Knob Radio, won a playwriting competition and was performed by the Curtain Players of Columbus, Ohio (very far off-Broadway).
Besides writing, which is more an obsession than a hobby, Cohen enjoys playing softball, studying astronomy, watching old movies, and listening to classical music and swing jazz, as well as being an obsolete relic to his three children and two grandchildren. He is presently living in Richardson, Texas with his spouse and best writing critic, Florence Chasey-Cohen.
