Book Reviews of Actual Air

Book Review: Outstanding!
Summary: 5 Stars

This collection of poetry by David Berman is amazing! With a similar attitude seen in the characters of J.D. Salinger, Berman proves his versatility with Actual Air. Great read. Needs to be read and digested multiple times.

Summary of Actual Air

In these vivid and subtly radical poems, David Berman, lead singer/songwriter of the Silver Jews, reinvents overlooked details of everyday life-from the suitcase of a departing girlfriend to a baseboard electrical outlet. He charts a course through his own highly original American dreamscape in a language that is fresh, accessible, and remarkably precise. His arresting and insightful take on contemporary life make Actual Air, as Pulitzer Prizewinning poet James Tate describes it, "a book for everyone."
