Bio
Also see my website where you can download my poetry ebooks; my book reviews are on New York Journal of Books. You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and my blogs.
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. 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 original but magnify its richness."
I am the author of two poetry collections, "Glued To The Sky" and "JFK: Lines of Fire" (Burlington VT: PulpBits, 2003). PulpBits went out of business in March 2007, but you can download PDFs of my books on my website.
My interests include Poetry, Literary Fiction, Modern Art, Jazz, Judaism, History, and Liberal Politics. I'm married to absract painter Shoshana Cooper, and we share our home with Sasson, a Peterbald cat. My Jewish identity is very strong, and on most Saturday mornings and early afternoons you would probably find Shoshana and me at our local synagogue , Park Slope Jewish Center. For those familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator I am an INFP, I have non-hyperactive ADD ( the quiet version), and I am fairly even tempered. I look forward to the day when medical science finds cures for my various chronic ailments.
