Poems, texts, and graphics reproduced giant-size in tabloid format, giving a real presence to the work presented, which is surrealistic, chance-taking, and very lively. Bukowski and Kostelanetz make appearances, and I was further delighted by the poems of Shanna Renee, some gritty collages made on cigarette packages by D.E. May, and a series of poems by Dave Nichols: "a list of sins. dysfunction. leave it behind. the valley of pumping. the valley of poison. leaving soon. state street. d street. the row of windows./ limbo. the new jazz. instrument. a new needle. drone." (from "imperfect")--John M. Bennett
