HOLIDAY ISSUE **2000**

Raise the roof here with us at Editor's Picks this holiday season as writers--heavy- weights and challengers
alike--gift us with their latest offerings. Come warm yourself by the glow of the monitor and drink in an unusual collection of spiced-cidery lit.

Any single mouthful will prove more fruitful and satisfying than a whole cellophaned fruitcake!



Of all the writers and magazines Web Del Sol plays host to, Editor's Picks is our own; an indulgent street corner in the WDS neighborhood where we publish the lit we like--the best money can't buy.

To this end we choose to solicit writers and poets who make our hearts arrhythmic.

This's our latest. Hope it tickles.

A Few Sol Features

Boston Comment: Joan Houlihan has stirred the poetry world into an awakening with this new column. Take time to discover the "denaturing of poetry" and other third millenium concerns.

In Dissent: our favorite Coop lights a few fires in quest of the ultimate provocation; but regardless, you'll come away either pleased or irritated, but never neutral.

Cyber Rambler: the ex-patriot Martin Earl dissects the most complex of literary sites, opening a window onto a world that is difficult to comprehend, but curious and profound nonetheless.

Rain and Sol: our co-branded venture with Rain Taxi to bring you the latest select book reviews.

Boston Sol: another co-branding venture with Boston Review to deliver a salvo of bracing prose micro-reviews.

Moveable Engine Feast:Our not-too-lame search engine frame. Hard to beat for research.

The Sol Multimedia Portal: No need to seek elsewhere, we've done the searching for you. Sample from the best audio readings and wild lit video on the web. Watch as Bob Holman and "Go! P" Galinksky literally strobe with poetic resonance, listen to the classics by such greats as Sylvia Plath and Theodore Roethke, hear the contemporary voices of Rikki Ducornet, William Gass, David Lehman, R.T. Smith, and many more.
