All Time Acceptable by Spring Berman

Softcover

"Spring Berman's poetry provokes in what it directly asks; in what it insinuates, without directly asking. Some say that poets are wise beyond their years. Here is one young wise poet." —Ifeanyi Menkiti

"ALL TIME ACCEPTABLE combines rich language, a distinctive sharp intelligence, comedy, and a wide range of materials that includes scientific knowledge, freshly imagined and transformed." —Robert Pinsky

"The elegance of these precise poems is undercut by a wry, irascible voice that deflates the self-drama of love and loss. Urbane, evocative of Merrill and Bogan, ALL TIME ACCEPTABLE is a wonderful first collection." —Susan Wheeler
