There are two poets named David Berman. The first nine poems posted here are by by David Berman (1934-2017) and the last five by David Berman (1967-) .

I have question is he still alive?

It sucks that you guys don't even have his best poem on here. Classic Waters, look it up. All time favorite! !

David, just found your poem 'Snow' on Modern Poem of the Day... As a mostly classical writer I've never really warmed up to modern poetry but your 'Snow' is certainly one of those exceptions... Awesome. It might be because my brother and I used to shovel driveways as kids too... Sorry to hear about the fall out with your dad. If you don't mind taking some advice form an admiring stranger then just drop it man, it ain't worth all that.... Guns are not going away, but our dad will be. You don't want to be in that cold place when he's gone.... Just some love for you dude...

I'm of the opinion that David Berman should, along with his so called modern poetry be consigned to the garbage can. Complete and utter trash.

Today one of David Berman's poems was sent me by PoemHunter. I just kept reading and reading, soaking up the discursive swag-bag of ideas... making a story, which intrigued and transfixed me. I wish I had written down the title. I loved the work. Thank you. It is for poems like this that I live and breathe.

very cool stuff, and now i have to add at least 20 character spaces

i saw you read at umass a few years ago, we had a conversation in the bathroom. you're awesome
