The Manager: Selected Writings 2

The action of this book-length poem unfurls in the public and private worlds of corporate man. The Manager is a poet’s response to challenges thrown down by T. S. Eliot more than eighty years ago in The Waste Land. Its ground is identity, sexuality and vision. Its occupation is mind, heart and spirit. The Manager pleads for, and insists on hope, life and renewal.

This revised edition of The Manager is the second volume in the Salt series of his Selected Writings.

Richard Berengarten used to be known as RICHARD BURNS. With the publication of this book, he now repossesses the family name of his father, the cellist and saxophonist Alexander Berengarten.
