Man oh man...I'm really looking forward to this one!
yeah me too. mcgettrick, catlin, good stuff all around.
not justin.barrett though; he isn't very good.
in general.
just look at his beady little buttons, glinting evilly in that mormon air out there...
I hear tell it's meant to have a kind of CD-sampler-like feel, the kind garage bands give away...only it's promoting garage poets instead! Pretty cool...
what a list. #2 does seem a little suspect. should be good despite that. :)
a garage poet collection. that's actually quite brilliant. damn. can't wait to see it.
oh, and mormon air sucks. it's really dry, full of holier-than-thou crapiness and damned hypocritical. terrible stuff.
got the Octothorp yesterday and it's phenomenal. what a collection. gorgeous-looking chapbook, but the poems inside are crazy good. even #2 up there had one that didn't suck too bad. wow.
yeah the thing is really really good. that Graz poem is one of my faves of his recently, and the fucking kriesel poem will punch you in your soul and then drag your heart out and cry for it as it kicks the shit out of it in the dirt.
I mean it's a good little chap...
i agree. good stuff. Kriesel has always been a favorite. best thing about him is how simple his poems are, yet how difficult you know it was to construct. so dense and layered, but damn they look simple. great stuff.
the whole thing though is fabulous, which is to be expected as David has one of the best eyes out there, with Fleming up there as well. odds are fairly good that anything they select and put out will be above average.
