This quarterly is described as "a literary magazine by and for disenfranchised computer bulletin board poets." A collection of lyrical free verse which rumbles with a sonorous voice, and a single short prose piece which adds a cold-snap ending. Appears to lead towards subjective images which give a sense of non-being. "Sunset forever,/ a gesture for world peace:/ An endless sea of daffodils." But this indirect enthusiasm forces the concrete metaphors to stand out like a bas-relief. "The potato farmer smiles/ slightly, flashing rotting teeth/ &..." Clean, curious, and inventive.--R.R. Lee Etzwiler
