D.C. Berry tempers the "savage indignation" of his satiric poems with the honesty of feeling and graceful language which have marked his work since his first collection, Saigon Cemetery. His images of domestic and social life make the senses jump with shock; but we recognize their truth, and we learn, as we read, to live with these truths about our times, as the poet has.

| Praise for Divorce Boxing |
"D.C. Berry's poems...blend earthly wit and insights, like a good tall tale. I'm touched and entertained by the comedy and cleareyed honesty of Berry's metaphors." , ............................................................................................
.—Walt McDonald |
"At once lyric and satiric, this always delightful and occasionally scary book not only documents 'the woe that is in marriage' but it also reveals the surreal goofiness of being single again. D.C. Berry has not just written a compelling book, he has also crafted a deeply human one."
—Dana Gioia |
"...full of lusty language and tasty fallings-in and out of love. I like cruising it." , ........................................................................................... —Coleman Barks |
