Raw, naked poetry you could probably read outloud at the corner bar and not only not get laughed at or punched, but probably be understood. Easy to "get" but not simple; tough-hearted, violent & sexy, full of juice... reminds a little of Bukowski but not so goddam self-absorbed, and more insightful to boot. Editor Pat McKinnon got a computer and a new book of Mayan glyphs to cut-n'-paste, the layout is still slapdash but ever easier to read. Special bonus: blue basset-hounds on the cover!--luigi
