The Cantakerous, Compelling Musings of Poet Bert Meyers 
Poetry 


Cole Krawitz | Wed. Sep 05, 2007
In a Dybbuk’s Raincoat: Collected Poems
by Bert Meyers, edited by Daniel Meyers
University of New Mexico Press, 295 pages, $24.95.


Bert Meyers is what some might call “a poet from the bones.” Meyers, a lyric poet, a proletarian poet, a poet who deplored any and all attempts to categorize a poet, creates work that presents itself as constant contradictions, as a parallel to living life and a reflection of his place in poetry.
