Description
Ben Berman's Writing While Parenting explores what it means to pursue a creative passion alongside
raising a family, how having children can make a parent both more vulnerable and more adventurous as an
artist. Given how hectic parenting is, is it possible to balance a career and family, let alone find two minutes
to pee without someone tugging your leg and asking to watch you "make bubbles"? How does one possibly
find the time or energy to be creative?Spanning five years, these essays range from humorous moments (the
seven-year-old daughter complaining that she "just got kicked in the weenie") to the more serious ones
(finding two swastikas etched into the slide at the neighborhood playground). No matter its genesis, each
piece thoughtfully examines the overlaps and the dissonance between the creative life and the procreative
one. This is a witty, inspired, and illuminating collection for the writer, the parent, or both.PRAISE FOR
WRITING WHILE PARENTING: Ben Berman's witty, brainy, soulful look at writing-while-parenting will
speak to every parent-and every writer-committed to understanding the way that having kids raises the stakes
for-and loosens the reins of-how we speak and write. What we blurt out, what we write down, the letters we
help our children form, and those we hold ourselves back from forming for them-all matter. Every writer
speaks to posterity, but Berman shows how parenthood brings that message-literally-home.-Elisa New,
director and host of Poetry in AmericaWriting While Parenting, Ben Berman's wonderful new collection, is
a striking work of wit, wisdom, and authenticity. His narratives read like micro-memoirs: deep meditations
on marriage and family in dramatic structures "between song and thought." In addressing daily routines,
dinner dates, and making M&M pancakes, these essays, like poetry, intertwine "imprecise meanings and [a]
tangling of tones." This collection is as much about parenthood as it is process. For the writer, it is a
reminder to see opportunity in every moment. I am enamored with Berman's care and precision with
language and meaning. These essays are full of surprises, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary at
every turn.-January O'Neil, author of RewildingBen Berman's collection reveals a writer who is an astute
reader, one situated within the community of literature, referencing other texts in ways dialogic and fruitful
to us, readers of his text. Here Berman knits a kinship of the poetic, the philosophical, the etymological, and
the revelatory in essays remarkable for their scope, surprises, and sheer delights. The fundamental kinship of
family and its metaphors is the beautiful beating heart of this book, and Berman's skill as a storyteller gives
that heart amazing life.-Danielle Legros Georges, Boston Poet Laureate, 2015-2019ABOUT THE
