Donald Berger is the author of The Long Time, a newly published bilingual collection of poetry in English and German from Wallstein Press in Goettingen, Germany, and two other books of poems, Quality Hill (Lost Roads Publishers) and The Cream-Filled Muse (Fledermaus Press). His poems and prose have also appeared in The New Republic, Slate, Conjunctions, Colorado Review, Ironwood, The Iowa Review, TriQuarterly, Fence, The Massachusetts Review, and magazines in Berlin, Leipzig, and Budapest. He currently teaches writing at Johns Hopkins University.
Berger’s cosmic spaces and ‘long times’ have a way of abruptly, breathtakingly concentrating themselves in a single, exclamatory revelation.
