SLIPSTREAM casts a wide net across the bleak and sometimes cruel ultra-realistic poetic world. Some of the great ones in this issue: Bukowski, Knight, Hugh Fox, Todd Moore, Gerald Locklin, Cheryl Townsend, Lyn Lifshin. And then what is amazing the editors come up with Michael Ketchek, Alexia Lyn Dolton, Richard Zabransky, R. T. Swank and more. Dozens. Slipstream is a gathering, a dance. And you know that these editors, Sicoli, Borgatti and Farallo actually read the manuscripts that arrive in Niagara Falls! Well, here is a picnic basket, a refrigerator full of beer, sinking the eight ball, steamed windows, an extra twenty, pizza, your birthday, a good night.--Micheal Basinski
