PUBLICATIONS | NEW NEWS-BAR What's New at WDS? POETRY DAILY | CHAPBOOKS |
Features and Lit The cosmic summer issue including "Lunar Cartography & Q Flux," victims of Neff, "Gaarg Gaarg Gak," a new Kristy Nielsen: "Eating Tomatoes in Heaven," and spring issue bonus! 5T eat your own inscrip- tion issue. Bitter spider- man suitcases make you want to frame those sleepy mapings and dog-customized cowboy hats, and the girls, yes, the girls impatient as a lounge or the Shifu himself searching for some stale feudal maxim. Del Sol Review: We rifle like wind through bamboo, gone pure to basics, the noumena of the creative Gaia. Our prose and poetry reveal a rustle of trummer- frauen, the charred cigars of archaeology, breath into lips, and Rothko primality. Facture is a youth on the literary scene but quickly making a name for itself with a strong and impressive collection of some of the most unique new literature being published. Facture is not afraid to experiment, with neo language poetry forms, and beyond.Synesthesia raises the new media bar. Precious few hypermedia poetry works display such a perfect blend of visual art and poetry. The first Synesthesia features the kinetic art of its founder. The Jung oeuvre will endure.

Clayton Eshleman has trans- lated Vallejo's most difficult book-- TRILCE. This medium- length work of 77 poems, falls somewhere between Joyce's "soup pot as big as Phoenix Park" and Eliot's "food in tins." Vallejo refers to the book as "my succulent snack of unity." Marsilio published Eshleman's translation in 1992, then let it go out of print in 1996. Wesleyan University Press has now reissued the translation, with some revisions..

Please read the capsule introductions in our WDS blurb column on the right. Included are two of our favorites, City of Bits from Iowa Review Web and Anywhere from Poems That Go.

As the irrepressible Rambler notes, "At RR editorial restraint is matched by the sheer quality of writers like Tim Parks, John Kinsella, and the formidable James Wood." The Rambler skillfully appetizers us into making cyber haste to the realm of RR, then proceeds to examine with his customary thoroughness the weltanschaunng of John Kinsella who asks such questions of us as: Should we eat meat? What is the nature of power? Which gods do we implicate with our money?
