Poet & Writer
A lifelong New Englander, Jeff Bernstein watches the seasons slowly turn from a hillside in Central Vermont with an occasional foray into town or even across the border into Canada. The dogs maintain sanity and provide all forms of relief. Poetry is his favorite and earliest art form (he can’t draw a whit or hold a tune).
