- I’D
RATHER BE MEXICAN than
a white
guy from Milwaukee who reflects on the wonders of being Mexican. Join
Carlos, pale face, ghost boy in this existential
meditation on life in the salsa sea (by
Charles P. Ries).
|
|
- ODD is
a good title for this collection by
Charles
P. Ries,
whose poems note not only the strangeness of the
world, its creatures, moments, and paradox
- but that here we are, perhaps the only
organism capable of being conscious of how
odd life is." - Phil
Wagner, Editor, Iconoclast

- Lady
Pinball by
Rochelle Ratner (In
the late 1970s, Pinball machines began appearing in bars,
headshops, bus stations. And I found myself drawn to them.
There I was, in control of that machine, the machine sometimes
the only thing I could control. New friendships opened up and
solidified, all recounted from a tough-woman persona here.)
|
|
- Leah by Rochelle
Ratner --"Found
poems" based
on postcards discovered in an antique store, all addressed
to Leah Graham (later Leah Carvell) from 1905-1955.
Line breaks, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
have all been retained, nothing has been edited out.
Piecing them together tempts readers to fill in the blanks
until a life story emerges.
|
|
- Newsreal by
Rochelle Ratner --Whether
politically motivated (based on the inanities of Bush and Co.) or more fanciful
(an ad or news story sparking autobiographical fragments), 2003 seemed a year
like none other. These prose poems capture moments and, hopefully, make art of
them.
|
|
- Tellings by
Rochelle Ratner (The
first untitled, introductory poem, is in my own voice. Everything which follows
is in the voice of my mother, based on stories she told me about her own life.
The stories captured in these poems belong to my mother; the emotion which comes
through is clearly my own. )
|
|
- emissions by M.
Richard Smith ( written
between 1996 and 2003, these 21 poems explore various

are dark, some are about love lost and/or found
, & others make a comment on society, or speak
of nature. Also includes a memorial to the victims

- Michael
Feil has captured language as raw
as the debris flowing in our gutters, a photograph of the
unfolding of nature, or vows spoken from an altar.
The words on the pages of Camping in a Middle Class
Pasture are the moments
of our generation. This 120 page manuscript contains some real
gems!

- Patricia A. West writes poetry as a release and an escape. Usually dark and raw, she sometimes writes humorous poems often with a sarcastic undertone. She prefers rhyme to free verse. If you, too, prefer poems that rhyme, that are taken from real life experience, always honest even if painful, give her e-book, Wings Of Freedom, a try.
