CONGRATULATIONS TO SANDY MCINTOSH WHO IS FEATURED ON TAMAFYHR MOUNTAIN POETRY
which you can access at http://www.tmpoetry.com (click on "Chapbooks"). Sandy's chap is of his long poem, "Obsessional." The poem will be part of his book, The After-Death History Of My Mother, forthcoming from Marsh Hawk Press in Fall 2005.
Thomas Fink, Sandy's editor, describes "Obsessional" as “an elegantly crafted long poem which records intriguing detective work on Tudor English literary history and assesses the nature of how art is created, by whom, under what circumstances, and how art is collected as a product, disseminated, and sometimes censored or barred from distribution.”

JONATHAN MAYHEW COMMENTS ON AFTER TAXES!
Marsh Hawk Press thanks Jonathan Mayhew for his favorable mention (on Sept. 20, 2004) of Thomas Fink's AFTER TAXES. Here's an excerpt from Jonathan's write-up:
FROM THE BEMSHA SWING BLOG:
If I were to write a review of this book [AFTER TAXES], which I haven't read yet in its completeness, I would point to a poem like "DRIBBLING CHASTITY":
offensive, soul's cruel
hairdo jeering
at the suit
you walk.
Through. To think
remedial roses
would goose his
gimpy frigidaire.
Crass skin, shirt
choler. Swollen
dimes, classrooms where
undercover iconoclast
sublime might jerk
off sluggish
bathrobe's decorative kidney.
Can a vase
smash rage?
I like everything about this poem--the feel for language, the sense of humor, the communicative drive, balanced by the realization that you don't have to explain everything. A rapid glance through some other poems in the book reveal similarly excellent flashes of briliance. Not everyone can do zaniness as well as Fink; it can easily turn into cuteness. (I'm guessing he's read some Elmslie at some point, another poet who's mastered that delicate balance.) So whoever had them send me the book, thank you. I'm still wondering whether a vase can smash rage...

"Secular Jewish Culture / Radical Poetic Practice"
Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2004 -- 7pm; $10 admission
Center for Jewish History
15 West 16th Street, Manhattan
a public forum with Paul Auster, Charles Bernstein (chair), Kathryn Hellerstein, Stephen Paul Miller, Marjorie Perloff, Jerome Rothenberg
Tickets available from www.ticketweb.com or the Box office: 917-606-8200. More information www.cjh.org.
What are the innovations and inventions of American Jewish poets, over the past century? Can we say that there is distinctly Jewish component to radical modernist and contemporary poetry? What is the relation of Jewish modernist and contemporary poets to the historical avant-garde and to contemporary innovative poetry? How does Jewish cultural life and ethnic and religious forms and traditions manifest themselves in the forms, styles, and approaches to radical American poetry? What role does a distinctly secular approach to Jewishness by poets and other Jewish artists mean for "radical Jewish culture"?
