Jon Longhi:
ZUCCHINI AND OTHER STORIES


Manic D Press
PO Box 410804
San Francisco CA, 94141


16 pp., $3.00

Longhi has the tactics and strategy of a hit-and-run driver: fuck 'em up and leave 'em for dead. He takes on circus clowns, anarchist skatepunks, redneck rodeo heavens, foursomes before the days of AIDS, and whatever else captures his angry fancy. These are nonapologetic bursts that make up a modern street battered Spoon River anthology. If you want to have your senses kicked against a wall, and feel the coldness of that wall as you slowly slide to the floor, capture this, and Longhi's Bricks & Anchors, before the lights begin to dim.--oberc
