Bromige Revisited, Poems by David Bromige printable pdf
David Bromige was born in London, England in 1933 where he was educated and became a prize winning student. Not content to give his life over to academics just yet, he worked as a shepherd in Sweden as might be depicted in a Glen Baxter panel. Eventually he found himself in Canada, in the province of Saskatchewan for a short time before matriculating to Vancouver’s institute of higher learning where he met and was befriended by some of Canada’s great poets writing in English at that time. To further his education he studied at UC Berkeley where his writing came to the attention of the eminent poet Robert Duncan. Soon Bromige was teaching in the California State University system in Sonoma County. He found Luther Burbank’s “paradise on earth” to be quite congenial to his life style until his passing in June of 2009. He was the author of over 40 poetry selection, many of them prize winning works, of a unique wit and contemplative of the vagaries of absurdity. He fits in no neat category stylistically, yet he was long associated with the Language School. IF Wants To Be The Same As IS, a selected collection of his oeuvre, was published by New Star Books of Vancouver in 2018.
