Mostly a links blog with occasional commentary on the linked articles (since 2010 mostly my book reviews) and infrequent personal updates. I am a 64 year old married writer. See my website for my current writing projects and to download my ebooks; my about me page has links to my various web 2.0 venues.

About Me

David Cooper: I am a poet, literary translator, and book critic. Download my two poetry collections from my website: http://davidfcooper.com/, and buy my translation of Rachel Eshed's "Little Promises": http://goo.gl/ajF8l. My translation of Israeli poet Rachel Eshed’s book Little Promises is published in a bilingual edition by Mayapple Press. In its Hebrew original, this collection of intense erotic poetry won the 1992 AKUM prize in Israel. My translation of one of the poems in Little Promises was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Novelist Tsipi Keller says , “It is hard to speak of Rachel Eshed’s poetry without mentioning ‘fire’ : her poems virtually burn on the page, and David Cooper’s renditions not only do justice to the the original but magnify its richness.” PDF files of my two poetry collections, Glued To The Sky and JFK: Lines of Fire (PulpBits, 2003) can be downloaded on my website. I am also a voting member of the National Book Critics Circle. You can read my reviews here: http://www.nyjournalofbooks.com/reviewer/david-cooper.
