Here's a link to some info about and examples of David Berman's poetry.

This is for me some of the writing that makes me both want to pick up and pen and to not try altogehter. I'm sure you can relate.

I hope you all enjoy it...

Silver Jews are great. Berman's poetry is better than great. My favourite: Snow Walking through a field with my little brother Seth I pointed to a place where kids had made angels in the snow. For some reason, I told him that a troop of angels had been shot and dissolved when they hit the ground. He asked who had shot them and I said a farmer. Then we were on the roof of the lake. The ice looked like a photograph of water. Why he asked. Why did he shoot them. I didn't know where I was going with this. They were on his property, I said. When it's snowing, the outdoors seem like a room. Today I traded hellos with my neighbor. Our voices hung close in the new acoustics. A room with the walls blasted to shreds and falling. We returned to our shoveling, working side by side in silence. But why were they on his property, he asked.
wow. Berman's poetry is much much greater than great. I like the lines "you won't hear overhear anyone using the words 'dramaturgy' or 'state inspection today.' We're too busy getting along. thanks for the link Snowwent
