September 13th, 2007 at 5:29 pm eI scanned ~12 samples..
It’s rather fascinating…the narratives are usually more visible
than pure language poetry, but the surreal effects and language
jumps are really snappy. Even the life/historics have a
certain blurr to them. And it spools out in that run-on style
half the time for lots of speed. Their description is really
apt….fo real! Your stuff is really buzzing along in that issue,
facets sparking. A shade of the Ashbery-esque, more than
usual, in your bobsled-kickoff start, then the flashes, and
the Dali-esque visual (image-surreal?). Pretty cool.
Non-prescription?
An epiphany:
Many collections each have their own personality too. The pieces
are part of the bigger saga. I see the ed. composing….Very nice, zingy.

First one is much more commentary-like.
Good though
