Jacqueline Lisa Berger (born November 30, 1960) is an American poet and director of the graduate English program at Notre Dame de Namur University in California. She is the author of three books of narrative poetry: ''The Mythologies of Danger'' (1997), ''Things That Burn'' (2005), and ''The Gift That Arrives Broken'' (2010). Her work is concerned with the themes of desire and loss. ==Biography== Berger was born in Los Angeles and received her BA in English from Goddard College in 1982.〔 (full issue )〕 She studied under Olga Burmas and Jane Miller at Goddard, and later became interested in free writing and attended the Freehand Women's Writing Community in Massachusetts. Berger obtained her MFA from Mills College in 1995. Since the late 1990s, she has been the Program Director for the Master of Arts in English at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) in Belmont, California. Berger is also an assistant professor and director of the writing center at NDNU and teaches writing at City College of San Francisco. She draws inspiration from the dependent relationship between her teaching and writing career: "I really adore teaching, and it certainly inspires me. And I couldn’t teach writing if I didn't write. So the two certainly work together."〔 In the mid-2000s, she participated in the Changing Lives Through Literature program, teaching prisoners at the San Mateo Women's Correctional Facility. She married technical writer Jeffrey Erickson in 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacqueline Berger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
