Sinopsis

Poetry. Winner of the 2003 Jane Kenyon Award for Outstanding Book of Poetry. "The quality of persistent attention in Berger's work constitutes, I think, the heart of the poetic act. It is hard enough to find the inner space and self-command for that attention in our time; it is a matter of verbal gift and discipline to be able to make such attention audible to others. It matters that her attention is paid to such endangered objects as human love and the extra-human natural world; to the intricate connection between our conduct of love and that imperiled world"--Mary Baine Campbell, author of The World, The Flesh, and The Angels.

Biografía del autor

L.R. Berger has received fellowships and generous support for her work as a poet from The National Endowment of the Arts, The New Hampshire Council on the Arts, The PEN New England Discovery Prize, The MacDowell Colony, The Blue Mountain Center, The Appalachia Poetry Prize and Hedgebrook. She was also awarded a Visiting Artist's Residency at The American Academy in Rome. Her first collection, Sightings, was published by Oyster River Press. Berger has been widely published in journals and anthologies including Prairie Schooner, The American Literary Review, The American Voice, Descant, Gulf Stream and Ladies Start Your Engines (Faber & Faber). She also assisted in the English translation from Arabic of, Beginnings, by Adonis. From a statement about her work she says, "The world dares us to love it; that terrible, sturdy brand of love that can sometimes be wrestled out of the condition of our lives. My poems are driven by an ongoing felt necessity to take up this dare." Berger has been teaching poetry and short fiction writing for fifteen years, most recently at the University of Massachusetts in Boston.
