Men, Women & Vehicles: Prose Works - Softcover

"David Bromige grew up using the 16 Bus (London Transport) and the Bakerloo (London Underground). The first time he drove, it was a tractor with a load of peas on the rear forklift which caused the front wheels to life off the 'ground' when he drove it up a heap of silage. . . . When he left the Berkshire College of Agriculture (by cloud) he gave some fields in Sweden a thorough harrowing but never drove a car (and then without license) until Saskatchewan. . . . In Berkeley in the 60s, he required no car, being already here. . . . For 15 years now, he has had a current California drive license and he has a driving record his mother could have loved".

David Bromige is a Canadian born in England and resident in the United States. He was (by choice) on the fringe of the Vancouver Tish Group in the sixties, and he's in the neighbourhood of the "language" writers now. Bromige's Desire: Selected Poems 1963-1987 (Black Sparrow) won the 1988 Western States Book Award
