In reading these poems, we are permitted to witness their creation, as Berrigan pivots between semiotic slippage and shrewd assertions, letting the form of each poem take shape as it will, a surprise of sound and sight. In one poem he writes that \"poetry \/ contains \/ multiple \/ unresolvable questions \/ A T \/ TH E \/ SLAME \/ TLIME\" and later reminds us \"there are \/ no accidents \/ in poetry \/ either.\" With the same acerbic wit found in Berrigan's previous work, \u003ci\u003eDon't Forget to Love Me\u003c\/i\u003e is an apogee of politics, pathos, and poetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnselm Berrigan\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books of poetry: \u003ci\u003ePregrets\u003c\/i\u003e, (Black\u003cbr\u003eSquare Editions, 2021), \u003ci\u003eSomething for Everybody\u003c\/i\u003e, (Wave Books, 2018), \u003ci\u003eCome In Alone\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, May 2016), \u003ci\u003ePrimitive State\u003c\/i\u003e (Edge, 2015), \u003ci\u003eNotes from Irrelevance\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2011), \u003ci\u003eFree Cell\u003c\/i\u003e (City Lights Books, 2009), \u003ci\u003eSome Notes on My Programming\u003c\/i\u003e (Edge, 2006), \u003ci\u003eZero Star Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e (Edge, 2002), and \u003ci\u003eIntegrity and Dramatic Life\u003c\/i\u003e (Edge, 1999).
