Thomas Vaultonburg:
CONCAVE BUDDHA


Press of the Third Mind
65 E. Scott St.
Chicago, IL, 60601


58 pp., $5.95

Chicago isn't a pretty town. People get tossed against walls, robbed at gun point, bashed in so many ways it's amazing that so many can survive. But Vaultonburg captures this wilderness in cat fights, Auschiwitz Ribs, umbilical cord nooses, schizophrenic paranoias, sex-filled jazz hallucinations, and so many other bitter ugly dreams that you want to stop, turn the world off, and hang your head in silence.--oberc
