James Berger's bios continues, but feels increasingly detached from its graphein. Nonetheless, he lives in New Haven CT and professes, at Yale, Literature and how it got there. This is his third book of poems-or maybe his fifth, depending on what category the OBU Manifestos books are to be placed in. He has written two scholarly monographs. He works now on "The Book of Impasses," concerning our imaginative failures to conceive a just and sustainable future, which includes, at a lower pitch, his failure to write the book. He is married to a historian, Jennifer Klein, which does give him some hope for the future; and is father to two daughters, Hannah and Teya, who are now better musicians on violin and flute than he ever was on his glad euphonium; and they give him more hope. These are his books, to this point: After the End: Representations of Post-Apocalypse (U. of Minnesota Press, 1999); Prior (BlazeVox, 2013); The Disarticulate: Language, Disability, and the Narratives of Modernity (NYU Press, 2014); The OBU Manifestos (Dispatches Editions/Spuyten Duyvil, 2017); The OBU Manifestos, vol. 2 (Dispatches Editions/Spuyten Duyvil, 2019); Under the Impression (BlazeVox, 2020). He also edited and wrote the introduction to The Story of My Life: The Restored Edition (by Helen Keller; Modern Library/ Random House, 2003.
