Poetry. "MUTED LINES FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S MEMORY is a heartfelt and gutsy investigation into the human brain's infinite possibilities, possibilities that remain potential in most of us, but geyser forward from Berg's consciousness in every poem. Nowhere in this book are we safe from clownfish in straitjackets, from wizards playing piccolos, from children with 'fleshy little prods.' Berg's world is rife with the nightmares and euphorias of his own relentless imagination, one that is not merely burns, but is fire itself, sweeping the cortex, the hippocampus, the frontal lobe, re-forging the cerebral universe in the most pleasurable manner imaginable. The only thing wrong with this book is the title--there is nothing muted about any of these lines. They scream at maximum volume. They break glass. How could they not when every syllable is so utterly alive?"--Larissa Szporluk.
