Editorial Reviews

"Berger displays her linguistic dexterity through diverse poetic forms?including haiku, tanka and palindrome?and her mix of the absurd and the emotional, the playful and the dramatic." - Concordia University Magazine

"Dismantled Secrets is well-worth finding and can be read with pleasure." - Journal of Canadian Poetry

"Berger has been writing haiku, tanka, light verse and formal parodies for many years. “What's impressive in Berger's new book is the tonal range." - Winnipeg Free Press
