DENNIS J. BERNSTEIN\'s first book of poems, Special Ed: Voices from a Hidden Classroom, is about daily life under the siege of poverty, racism and class warfare. In these stunning, understated poems, Bernstein is unafraid to name the darkest facts of our world with insight and compassion.
Bernstein taught in the New York City public schools before he became an internationally known investigative journalist. Come into the special ed classroom, where the kids who don\'t fit in anywhere else spend their day. For these kids?real kids?pistols, switchblades, police cars and hunger are more instructive than textbooks. Special Ed is about daily life under the siege of poverty, racism and class warfare.
Dennis lives in San Francisco and has been a long-time front line reporter specializing in Human Rights. His articles have appeared widely including in the Boston Globe, New York Times, The Progressive and the Nation. Bernstein was chosen by Pulse Media as one of \"20 Top Global Media Figures of 2009.\" Special Ed is Bernstein\'s first full collection of poetry.
