Book Reviews of Actual Air
Book Review: the Botany 500 of Charlottesville-inspired whimsy-rock
Summary: 5 Stars
There remains some question regarding my thorough completion of the tome, but none about the clarity of Mr. DC Berman's mystical vision, to wit: give a man a suit, he'll dress for a day, but give him a Botany 500 and he'll found Microsoft. Or something.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: walking down the road with pennies for eyelids
Summary: 3 Stars
when was you born. i cut out and shistered for the shuttle. it is in mantle, shorn rutted in glaze. okay but i miss you! you just go and look up and it says "you should hon" because of the whole idea of the south of the new south of being southern but the idea of southern is not a matter of border; i'm sorry papa m. we read it together had an animal ruled by large birds with nose jobs - you know who you rule? david berman has cloven hooves, cold and reserved his cities are oxford, boston, chicago and montreal. i don't think it has to do with virginia. i love you.Book Review: why not?
Summary: 5 Stars
either you will like this book or you won't. you will buy this book or you will buy the new dean koontz novel. if there is one. there is a good chance you will enjoy mr. berman's observations and insights, but i suppose there are people that won't. but that's ok. it's just allright. it's the finest collection of essays and poetry i've ever read, but i could be wrong, and you could do a lot worse. take a gamble, mr. disposable-income-face! i dare you.
