ROUND WHITE HOLE A ROUND WHITE HOLE

16 pp., $2.00

Just 13 one-page poems by the editor of DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES with a nice range of form and content. All not news but history too, like the following haiku:

deep sky meadow

/the snout of broken dreams/

a moss-ridden brick

Also, an infra-verbal gem called "Phore," that on the surface is just a list of seven words or phrases with spaces in them where the syllable "phore" has been removed... but in the full thought is an amazing deepening out of biology ("chromatophore" and "spermatophore") to the investigation of anomalies ("phoretean" or "Fortean," itself anomalous!) and beyond.--Bob Grumman
