The Obvious Poems and The Worthless Poems is a title that smacks you upside the head. So it's worthwhile to state the obvious: James Berger may have divided his latest book into two sections-the first of politically and socially aware poems, intensely alive to the accelerating disintegration of social, ecological, and ethical order in the world around us, often descending into incandescent (and wholly understandable) rage, the second of wordplay, formal experimentation, and wonderfully acute, often tender quotidien observation.

He is the author of two academic monographs: After the End: Representations of Post-Apocalypse (U. of Minnesota Press, 1999) and The Disarticulate: Language, Disability, and the Narratives of Modernity (NYU Press, 2014); and of three books of poetry: Prior (BlazeVox, 2013), Under the Impression (BlazeVox, 2020), and The Obvious Poems and the Worthless Poems (Spuyten Duyvil, 2023). He is also midwife and conduit of The OBU Manifestos, vols 1&2 (Dispatches Editions/Spuyten Duyvil, 2017, 2019). He is currently at work on two books: "On Naive and Sentimental Poetics" and "The Book of Impasses." He will not tell you what genres these books might occupy.
