Goodreads asked Tosh Berman:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tosh Berman "The Plum in Mr. Blum's Pudding" was written 25 years ago when I was living in Japan. While there, I had the book published in a very limited edition of 200 copies. Now, Penny-ante Editions agreed to re-publish the work with an introduction by Kristine McKenna and an afterword by Ruth Bernstein. It's a very important book for me. It brings back memories but also it conveys what I like about poetry in general. It's a snapshot that is meditated on and focused on as well. I love the textures in poetry, and with that in mind, is how I wrote this book.
