• 4 stele, bazat pe 1 voturi

Alan Berecka 's collection of work poetry moves toward an ethical, even existential conclusion - honest but not brow-beating or self-righteousness.

The poems unmask the false values of our work-world.

Berecka's voice is not that of a lazy, jerk-off kid, but a man, now in his sixties, who has played the game with ironic, rebellious effort, in the spirit of Camus' rebel hero, perhaps even approaching the societal-resistance of Melville's Bartleby.

But Berecka writes with damn-fine humor, and his work is always graced with his self-effacing style and redeemed by his soul-affirming humanity.
