If we think of Bill Berkson as bi-coastal, it's only because we were so smitten by his recently re-published collaborative work with Frank O'Hara, Hymns of St. Bridget & Other Writings (The Owl Press). But, yes, to be fair to him -- and the west coast -- he has, for many years now, been one of the Bay Area's brightest shining stars, with an oeuvre that includes everything from art writing to the poems and prose of Serenade (Zoland Books). Don't miss his rare east-coast visit!
