Charles Bernstein was born in New York City in 1950. He received his B.A. from Harvard College. Among his more than twenty books of poetry are Girly Man (University of Chicago Press , 2006), With Strings (2001), Republics of Reality: 1975-1995 (2000), Dark City (1994), Rough Trades (1991), The Nude Formalism (1989), Stigma (1981), Legend (with Bruce Andrews, Steve McCaffery, Ron Silliman, Ray DiPalma, 1980), and Parsing (1976).
Ceea ce e puţin amuzant şi destul de interesant e faptul ca miniconferinţa lui Bernstein despre “ceea ce face un poem să fie un poem” se transformă de fapt într-un POEM (maraton)…
