Thrilled by this serious, fascinating review of BERNIE FOR BURLINGTON by the great Jill Lepore. “Revelatory!” When Bernie Sanders Headed for the Hills newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Oakland, CA. A very fine book that I would recommend which is a chronicle of Bernie Sanders's political trajectory; " Bernie for Burlington " by Dan Chiasson. Having served as a Sanders delegate to Democratic National Convention. I may be a bit biased, but superb book!

"Why might a poet be a good person to write political biography? One answer: because a poet, if he’s good, cares less about sweeping assertions than about precision and exactingness." @tony_domestico on @dchiasso on Bernie: commonwealmagazine.org/bernie-sanders…

Grateful to Tony Domestico @tony_domestico for this brilliant review which takes on the elephant in the room—what’s a poet doing writing a 600 page book about a politician!!??

@RealBillDeegan Thanks, Bill! I'm thrilled you like

@dchiasso I have many wonderful memories from my time living in Vermont (1995 - 2005, Lincoln in Addison County). I am enjoying the heck out of "Bernie for Burlington". Thanks for writing this superb political and cultural narrative.

“It baffled me, when @BernieSanders introduced himself to voters in his presidential runs, that he did not capitalize more on his high school running career. His best mile was 4:37—blazing fast, when you consider he ran on a cinder track.” – @DChiasso pioneerworks.org/broadcast/dan-…

“Whether a person lived or died was a function, not of the severity of a patient’s condition, but of her ability to pay.” A chapter from @dchiasso’s new epic on how @BernieSanders forged the values he never abandoned, which remain indispensable. pioneerworks.org/broadcast/dan-…

How a New Deal Brooklyn boyhood, and a certain Manhattan storefront, sent Senator Sanders to the Green Mountains that formed him. pioneerworks.org/broadcast/dan-…. Read more on Broadcast, via @PioneerWorks_

Apropos of nothing here is the section in my book Bernie for Burlington where I have the temerity to suggest that the NYTimes red-baited Bernie in 2020 with a bs piece timed to extinguish him

As Bezos destroys the Washington Post book section, a reminder that the more people don't read books, the further the culture drifts toward the intellectual level of Andrew Tate or Destiny currentaffairs.org/news/youve-got…

Excited for this event, please come if you’re in NY!
