Questions, Short Poems, Water & Air

Poetry. "In his 4th book of poems, QUESTIONS, SHORT POEMS, WATER & AIR, Ira Beryl Brukner gives us four sets of quirky, funny, melancholy, and startlingly direct riffs on love, the birth of a son, the death of a father, and the deep questionings of daily life. These are poems of disarming simplicity whose precisely-chosen detail suggests landscapes and histories beyond the words. And the good news here is that the language swings, swings in places hard as good jazz."-Quincy Troupe
