PRIME POETS SERIES
#1 , 1992


PO Box 7392
Van Nuys, CA, 91409


4 pp., $1.35

One long, three page poem "Her Bitter Heart," and an experimental one-page prose piece "flight pattern" by Elizabeth Ziemba, an award-winning journalist and poet from the L.A. area. "...did I have any/ pictures of her, you know, before/ she snapped herself in two, before she splintered herself/ right off the edge of the world." Ziemba has a cold snap in her images, and the pace is so swift we don't need a lot of filler, in fact it would only distort the clarity of her harshly explicit situations. "She wants to die/ but I know she won't/ not ever..."--R.R. Lee Etzwiler
