Book Reviews of Actual Air
Book Review: david berman's first book leaves a powerfull impression.
Summary: 5 Stars
bermans poems are delightfull, his wit is alive and relevant. he takes apart the regular inbetween moments we take for granted and lets us appreciate them. never before have a read another persons work and left it so sure that i knew what he had to say, as if his voice was an older, sharper version of our own. to ignore this book of poems is to close your ears to a powerfull voice of the american experiance.Book Review: this book changed my death
Summary: 5 Stars
I love his sense of meter, phrasing - his charcoal humour, and the section on oncology. i love the creative distinctions illuminated between oncology and ontology. in this way, berman's text is worshipped and glorified. It meant a lot to me and everyone here at the cancer ward. After I died, I rose again in fulfilment of the scriptures and found myself coming back time and again to ACTUAL AIR.
Book Review: read this book...
Summary: 5 Stars
my whole life i walked down dusty roads, my own shadow taunted me... i left home for experience, settled in a land of curious inhabitants... met Dave Berman, a psychedlic mentor, drank his exilir, he showed me his dancing coins... we went to battle, our blood mixed with that of our enemy... years later i returned to my community with new gifts and powers...Book Review: Actual Brilliance
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite book of poems. He uses interesting language by allowing his words to speak in a different way. He has an interesting view of the world "It had been four days of no weather as if nature had conceded its genius to the indoors." It is the kind of book that you can keep reading on any day.
Book Review: Died for our sins, or to make us feel guilty?
Summary: 5 Stars
Berman is the best, and only, living american poet. His unassuming posture never lets on to his talent as a shooting gaurd. He will make you wish you had thought of that, and when you try to think of something as witty, you will think of it again and smile. My hats off to you, D.C. you are truly something amazing.
