In retirement, I finally have time to seek out contemporary poets--and Berecka is by far the best one I have come across (and this includes better-known names like Billy Collins). His range of subjects and tone are impressive, but despite the breadth of his interests, his poetry is accessible to anyone who thinks and feels--and who has a wry sense of humor. Berecka deserves the widest possible publicity and exposure--he is that good! I’m an academic lifer–have spent a lifetime teaching, among other things, poetry and creative writing.
