About the Author
David Bromige is a Canadian born in England and resident in the United States. He was (by choice) on the fringe of the Vancouver Tish Group in the sixties, and he's in the neighbourhood of the "language" writers now. Bromige's Desire: Selected Poems 1963-1987 (Black Sparrow) won the 1988 Western States Book Award
From Library Journal
This collection includes some pieces that are no more than one or two pages long and nothing longer than ten pages. Though almost always engaging, the pieces are often puzzling. Reading them is like having a stranger grab your lapel in a bar and then proceed to tell you about persons and events that are not only strange to you but strange to the teller as well. By re-creating the immediacy of such brief encounters, Bromige seems to be trying to capture the concentrated essence and the startling insight of poetry in everyday language. He writes about grad students, about marriages breaking up, about cars and what they mean to their owners. His stories are entirely contemporary, concerned with how some of us live now, what we think we want, and how we feel. They are not for the reader who wants a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
