One poem after another, the editor does a masterful job of ignoring boundaries, bandwagons and schools, and jumps on anything that strikes her fancy. The surprize is that it all hangs together, somehow. The names I recognize range from Lydia Tomkiw (lead singer in the band Algebra Suicide) to Stuart Friebert (professor at Oberlin & editor of the prestigious journal FIELD). The wide range seems to let in both the mundane and the Big Picture, tying 'em up in an appropriately complex, and inexplicable web.--luigi
