Heroic Measures (1998)
"Between
Cracking the Code (1985), Bergman's fine first collection, and this, his second, fell the AIDS epidemic. As a gay man, Bergman was affected. Friends sickened and died, and he had, for a while at least, to be one of the worried well. Out of that experience come the approachable poems about AIDS in this collection's first part. Some of the best AIDS literature of any kind, they introduce characters who come alive and tell stories, not all directly about AIDS, that bring the poet and his anxieties to life, too. As much could be said of the poems in the other four parts, concerned with or inspired by gardening; traveling and sight-seeing; stories from the Bible, classical mythology, and the lives of friends; and the aging of the poet's father. If Bergman doesn't astonish with his intellect, poem after poem is fluent, intelligent, well shaped, and memorable." -- Ray Olson,
Booklist
