He challenged my expectations with each work in this piece, often conjuring mad visions with the consistency of the white whiskey bottle. At their best, the poems send the reader down a US highway that is made of familiar materials but the scenery feels completely foreign. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

David Berman reinvents the overlooked and seemingly ordinary details of everyday life--from the suitcase of a departing girlfriend to a baseboard electrical outlet. His poems chart a course through his own highly original American dreamscape in language that is fresh, accessible, and remarkably precise. This debut collection has received extraordinary acclaim from readers and reviewers alike and is quickly becoming a cult classic. As Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Tate said, "These poems are beautiful, strange, intelligent, and funny. . . . It's a book for everyone." Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

If Christ had died in a hallway we might pray in hallways
or wear little golden hallways around our necks
We, as a nation, must support artists like Berman who are taking risks with their writing and music; its not all brilliant, it doesn't all make sense, but he has survived poverty, drug addiction and academia to deliver us something real. ( )
