Denise Bergman is an award-winning poet and visual artist who is noted for her narrative and biographical book length poems. Denise’s books are The Shape of the Keyhole, Three Hands None, A Woman in Pieces Crossed a Sea, The Telling, and Seeing Annie Sullivan, all book-length poems. She edited the anthology City River of Voices. A stanza of her poem “Red” is permanently installed in Dana Park in Cambridge, Mass.


Denise creates painted mobiles that rest on pedestals or dangle from the wall. Her process is a simple one of painting and construction. After painting each side of a bristol board sheet, Denise cuts out forms with an Exacto blade and folds, glues on textured images and additional color, and repeats until her “Danglers” take shape and are suspended from a thread held up by a stand. Her process affords her a large degree of flexibility for ingenious patterns and spontaneous color decisions.
