Holding the Sea
Manual 3
(Number 23 in the ESAW mini series)
by Richard Berengarten

RICHARD BERENGARTEN has authored two previous ESAW mini books (10 and 19) under the name of Richard Burns. With this book, he now repossesses the family name of his father, the cellist and saxophonist Alexander Berengarten. Like his previous two books in the series, this sequence of 20 poems is part of his work-in-progress, Manual, a sequence in celebration of human hands.

Born in London in 1943, into a family of musicians, Richard has published more than twenty five books. In winter 2008, the first five volumes in his Selected Writings series are appearing from Salt Publishing, Cambridge. The Salt Critical Companion to Richard Burns, edited by Norman Jope and Paul Scott Derrick, is also forthcoming in 2009.

A former Fellow of the Royal Literary Fund, Richard Berengarten lives in Cambridge, England. He is a Bye-Fellow at Downing College, Preceptor at Corpus Christi College and supervisor at Emmanuel and Pembroke Colleges and at Peterhouse. He lives with his partner Melanie Rein.
