FROM A FORTHCOMING REVIEW OF EILEEN TABIOS'S REPRODUCTIONS OF THE EMPTY FLAGPOLE!!!
“To my mind, the measure of a poetry book’s success would linger over questions of intellectual usefulness--the book’s continuing, viable rhetorical challenges. In that sense alone, then, volumes could be written about how and why Eileen Tabios’s Reproductions of the Empty Flagpole is important both for purposes of study in creative rhetorics or poetics, and as a most satisfying, pleasurable read.”
—Chris Murray, University of Texas at Arlington, review for Sentence: a Journal of Prose Poetics
Since Eileen's book is her "selected prose poem collection, 1996-2002," it's particularly gratifying to see her book receive attention from a journal specializing in prose poems. Sentence is edited by Brian Clements. And it's also nice to see the review written by such a highly-respected poet and educator, Chris Murray.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ROCHELLE RATNER
whose book, House and Home, is reviewed in the current issue of Library Journal:
"In writing as in life, this poet seems to have no use for undue exuberance but is plainly too strong to let herself get bogged down in the maudlin.... The result is honest and unaffected writing refreshingly free of the self-conscious angst that mars the writing of some of her colleagues." --Library Journal

AN INTERESTING, ELUCIDATING REVIEW OF AN INTERESTING, ELUCIDATING BOOK!
Here's an advance look at Madeline Tiger's upcoming review of Stephen Paul Miller's The Bee Flies in May (to be featured in Sidereality later this year):
"Soon after entering The Bee Flies in May one recognizes both childlike playfulness and worldly philosophy. Daring whimsy inhabits every segment of the work; but everywhere, too, we are made aware of our “real” world, in which anything (terrible) can happen. There’s a new air in the fast-talking quality of these poems, which go beyond “New York School” casualness and beyond O’Hara’s stylized “Personism”. They break even recent protocols of diction and form. Miller’s work is a compendium, a collage, conversation, telegrammed, all-inclusive. The reader rushes on—quickened, a participant— into the “silly”games, into history, into illuminations.
[...]
"The reader sees and feels everything through the adult’s accumulated knowledge, through a familiar Zeitgeist—of post-Holocaust reflections, American presidential bungling, academic dialogue, the poet wandering through his own chaos of experience. In detailed observations—of global economics, of family events, of artists and musicians, of teaching and of raising a child— every section is enlightened either as if with a child’s imagination or by twists of the adult’s wry humor. Pop culture elaborates both playful and serious qualities: Dylan, Jerry Garcia, John Cage,as well as Nazis and economists, people these poems. Their scope is international, but the flavor is very New York: by honoring the death of Eli Wilentz, Miller highlights the downtown culture of the (bygone) Village and its Eighth Street Bookstore.
[...]
"Some of the pieces are comparable to Roethke’s tilting nursery-rhyme-based verses, oddly mesmerizing. They seem “free,”delight-full, and sometimes scary (like the child’s world, like this man’s world). They seem to come from the preserved child inside the man, which surely Noah, or the father’s consciousness of Noah, has helped to call forth and serve. But this is not to say that the poems merely spill out: although on the surface they seem un-self-consciously wrought they are arranged with wit and purposefulness. Miller retrieves history from unspeakable despair, as he perceives it, in disorder. Without rhetoric, he honors survival and illuminates his sense of humanity. Humor is humane."

Madeline's review is very interesting reading; when it's fully available online, we will alert the readers of this blog.

Congratulations to Basil King
for receiving an enthusiastic review of MIRAGE in the May/June American Book Review (May/June 2004). Here's an excerpt from M. L. Weber's review:
"As a long poem, Basil King’s Mirage never flags -- he creates an extremely diversified structure that draws from imagination, history, and his fascinating life. . . .[He] recounts amazing stories contained in prose passages that break into the poetry like bedrock beneath a mountain stream. The title, Mirage, perhaps refers to the elusiveness of truth as time overwhelms our personal and public histories. Any reader with an interest in recent American literature and painting will be especially enamored with this work."
Also of note as regards Basil King's work: Issue #2 of Square One" -- published by the Creative Writing Program at the University of Colorado, Boulder -- has a substantial excerpt of Basil King's work-in-progress, "Learning to Draw", with reproductions of five of his ink drawings.
It's a fine issue overall, with a center section of Stan Brackhage's last drawings. Square One is edited by Jennifer Dunbar (Dorn) and includes translations (this issue has Duhamel, Appollinaire), fiction, essays, poetry. Copies available for $10 to Campus Box 226, University of Colorado, Boulder Co 80309.

SHARON DOLIN'S SERIOUS PINK IS REVIEWED IN RAIN TAXI
From the Spring 2004 issue of RAIN TAXI, here's an excerpt of Nathan Greenwood Thompson's review of Sharon Dolin's Serious Pink:
"These poems are not ... simply philosophical mediations. People and their stories populate th poems, if only in patches. The narrators of these poems struggle with identity, to describe a self that is always in relationship to others. In addition, there is a relationship that flickers on and off throughout the book, its very presence suggesting that much is necessarily absent from thenarrative. As Dolin writes in 'Mistake': "The point of interest in any story / is where it goes off the tracks.' Serious Pink rarely goes off the track, hwoever. In her devotion to making us see through pictures, Sharon Dolin takes the abstract appearance of life and draws in its intimacy."

THOMAS FINK TURNS HIS CRITIC'S EYES ON JANE AUGUSTINE
On Jane Augustine's ARBOR VITAE (Marsh Hawk Press, 2002)
by Thomas Fink
The accentual music and honed clarity of Jane Augustine's poems in ARBOR VITAE remind us that, in the contest between nature and mutability, the "I," though present, need not intrude. I thank her for helping us see anew what's right here, right there: "wine-brown trillium,/ triple sepalled, sprung/ from its three-leaf stalk// sends a long filament/ curving into the depth/ of a glass vase" (13).
"After Ponge" first informs us, "The abyss between word and thing is total. Human desire makes it bridgeable. But it must be the right bridge, delicate and strong, a pont neuf," and later: "The abyss between word and thing isn't total, or there would be no need to search for le mot juste, would there? Is this right word closer to 'the thing'? But what 'thing'? A word is also a thing" (71).
Awareness of the impossibility of perfect representation makes every apt, new bridge a reckoning of desire; calibration and celebration of the pleasures of approximation--the practical justice, rather than elusive perfection, of the word-- can render the abyssal negation less of a nagging presence, even if the so-called "right word" is, theoretically, no closer to the thing than a seemingly inferior bridge. And the word may assume its position as "thing" on a page holding "a machine made of" such things (W.C. Williams) while it functions as a pointer to a desired bridge.
