Following Shabbat morning services and Kiddush lunch, join us for a book talk with Poet James Berger, who is a Senior Lecturer in English and American Studies literature at Yale and a published poet. He will read from and discuss his 3rd book of poetry, The Obvious Poems and The Worthless Poems, published in November 2022.
“Berger’s brisk work takes soundings in the systems visibly failing all around us, and he puts his findings in message-poems and bulletins to frame the necessity for transforming all this —but how? is the stark question.”
