Sandy McIntosh Nominated for Pushcart!
Clayton Couch, editor of Sidereality, sends us a bit of happy news!
In late November, six poems -- pulled from the previous four issues of Sidereality -- were nominated for 2003 Pushcart Prizes: "What Watches" by Khadijah Queen, "Enigma" by Jonathan Minton, "Rain After a Dry Spell" by Kirby Wright, "The After-Death History of My Mother" by Sandy McIntosh, "Vertigo to Eros" by Kristy Odelius, "Death of a Girl I Never Knew in Passing" by Sirrus Poe. Although there were several other sidereality poems that I would liked to have nominated, the Pushcart only takes six pieces per calendar year from each publication, unfortunately.
Congratulations Sandy! You can read Sandy's poem at: http://www.sidereality.com/volume2issue3/poemsv2n3/theafterdeathhistoryofmymother.htm

SHARP GOLDEN THORN
by deNiord, Chard
$15.00 / Paper / pp.90
Marsh Hawk Press, 2003
ISBN: 0-9724785-3-1
Poetry. In this follow-up to the award-winning collection Asleep in the Fire, Chard deNiord's verse ranges from the quirkily amusing to the deeply lyrical and meditative, even mystical. Although we come to know the touchstones and totems of the poet's life in New England, the work is essentially unrestrained by geography or time, ranging as far afield as the poet's imagination allows. A master of the emphatic statement, the clear proposition about the world, deNiord presents a poetry that has absorbed the deep imagery of the last fifty years and the moral philosophy of the last five hundred. SHARP GOLDEN THORN reveals that Chard deNiord is one of the most outstanding poets at work today.

ON SANDY MCINTOSH'S "JULIAN AND MADDY, OR LOUDER DESPERATION"
Marsh Hawk Press thanks Vanda Polokova for writing the following essay on one of Sandy McIntosh's poems. Vanda is a student at LaGuardia College in New York and Sandy's collection Between Earth and Sky is a text used in her class:
Blind Relationships
by Vanda Polokova
In his poem “Julian and Maddy, or Louder Desperation,” Sandy McIntosh writes about an affiliated couple that does not have a clear sense of what their relationship is supposed to be. Although Julian might not resemble Maddy’s behavior at first glance, in many ways he is acts like her. He gets obsessed over Maddy the same was Maddy gets hagridden over other men in her life. He trusts Maddy after many disappointments, just as Maddy relies on her boyfriends. However, Julian is patient, hopeful and honest about his feelings towards Maddy, while Maddy just keeps using Julian amiability.
Both Julian and Maddy get sunk into their desired partners to the point where neither, Julian or Maddy, can see anything wrong with their loved ones. For instance, Maddy told Julian about her plan to marry Jimmy. Julian still loved Maddy even though she told him she might marry him. He still revered her to the point that when she “asked that Julian hold an engagement party for them at his house… Julian agreed” (37). Although, at this point Maddy had broken Julian’s heart, he still didn’t want to hurt her; he still hoped that one day, she would come back to him. He didn’t realize that Maddy didn’t love him. He just kept on believing that Maddy was suffering because she was “a victim of her father’s rage” (38).
Another similarity between Julian and Maddy is that the two hold, whatever their desired acquaintance says to be the absolute truth. Maddy believes Gustav’s crazy story about his kidnapping, and Julian believes Maddy when she tells him that she “would stay with Julian… only so long as it took to get herself set up in New York” (33). Maddy throws herself with complete trust to Jimmy when she meets him, ignoring the fact that he discriminates way too much. Julian blindly believes Maddy when she tells him: “I hope I will marry you” (36). When they trust another person, all of their instincts, senses of right and wrong, allowed and abusive, just get forgotten. Both of them suffer irreversible damage, yet they keep on hoping for a change that will resolve everything.
One difference between Julian and Maddy is that Julian is forbearing and caring, while Maddy just likes getting into relationships really fast without thinking about how they would work out. She also selfishly uses Julian without even considering how she might be hurting him or to repay him for all the favors that he has done for her. Julian on the other hand, complies with anything that she wishes just as blindly as Maddy asks. While Julian is unbelievably obsequious towards Maddy, she is just plain bossy.
Julian has definitely learned a lot about human nature from being involved with Maddy. He stopped being so gullible and let Maddy really see how he felt about her betraying him. Maddy’s personality however did not change. Apart from blaming Julian, saying that he was as awful as her father, Maddy never stopped to think about the support that Julian provided Maddy with in her time of adversity. Fortunately, Julian has finally learned that he stands no chance with Maddy and was able to say no when she asked him to another of her ridiculous favors. He stopped hiding his true feelings and let it all out when Maddy came over for the last time asking Julian to move out for his house and lend it to her and Jimmy so that they could have a nice honeymoon. For obvious reasons, Julian got mad and punched Jimmy for offending his friends and for, even though he never stated it, taking Maddy away from him.

JEAN VENGUA NOTES REPRODUCTIONS!
Another poet-blogger pays attention to Eileen Tabios's Reproductions of the Empty Flagpole, citing:
But why be surprised if infinity has a body, or if it is an organ? Consequently, you hold back your tears. Through their silver shimmer, you begin to understand her Idealism: the morality of detachment that transcends mere ascetism. Once, she stumbled across an ancient photo of an ascetic: in eyes hollowed by hunger, an infinite ecstasy.
Eileen Tabios, from "The Soulful Universe."

Thanks Jean Vengua!

MIRAGE: A POEM IN 22 SECTIONS
by King, Basil
$15.00 / Paper / pp.96
Marsh Hawk Press, 2003
ISBN: 0-9724785-4-X
Poetry. Amiri Baraka calls MIRAGE "A fine book--important on painting." Basil King attended Black Mountain College as a teenager in the 1950s, and completed his apprenticeship as an abstract expressionist painter in San Francisco and New York. Since that time, his art has taken a different turn, reaching through abstraction back to surrealism and forward into a new approach to the figure. Although he did not begin to write regularly until 1986, an involvement with poetry has always been part of his life, first in doing art to accompany poems in books and magazines, later as a book artist, now as a poet/painter. Among his many books, THE EARTH SUITE by Carl Rakowsi, with drawings by Basil King, is available from SPD.
