brief_description
David Berman is a young Virginian poet with a sly intense regard for the past. He comes on like a prankster, restocking the imperial orations of Wallace Stevens and the Byzantine monologues of John Ashberry with the pop-cultural bric-a-brac of a new generation. -- Publisher's description.
