Keith Higginbotham:
GLOOMY NEW LIFE


Burning Llama Press
100 Courtland Dr.
Columbia SC, 29223


8 pp., SASE

Dopey pix sprinkled with word and phrases in various typographies that warp together a droll story that begins, "I grew up/ fucked in/ What the Seventies did to/ gender, with boys/ and girls dancing in separate/ rotes of pain/ Clamped to their/ unsensuous/ slang/ of denial."--Bob Grumman

A small booklet of collaged found texts and images with a definite, if elliptical, autobiographical narrative structure. Childhood, sexuality, class, history: a rich mixture of topics roiling about in a visually stimulating and humorous format.--John M. Bennett
