I really like the way Went-worth mixes the graphics with the poetry in this issue, an excellent fulfillment of the senses. Besides artwork by Vogn, Guy Beining, and Harland Ristau, you get Cheryl Townsend's "Autumn," which walks through a natural pagan joy of the season. Anthony Lucero captures strangers in the apartment below with: "the man downstairs/ is singing/ he is singing/ to the other man/ i don't know/ which is/ which/ one of them is/ an architect/ the other is/ a writer/ neither of them/ are singers." Toss in a few by John Bennett, Lyn Lifshin, and Arthur Winfield Knight, and you got another great collection.--oberc
