Review: The Marram Grass: Poetry & Otherness By Anne Simpson
Posted by mamta on Saturday, July 04, 2009 (11:35:07)
Danger, characteristic of Simpson's poetry, is seldom far from the surface. Set within a "bumpy ridge" of dunes "shiny with curved blades" of marram grass, the concluding essay encompasses violence even as it invokes Buddhism's Heart Sutra. When inundated by sand and storm, however, the weed of the collection's title responds with vigorous growth. In the "slack" or valleys between fixed dunes that result, fresh water collects in life-embracing pools. ...

Review: On the Subway - Poetry by Kurt Boone
Posted by mamta on Saturday, July 04, 2009 (11:31:25)
These short poems take you on a journey that can be appreciated by workers and professionals of all kinds. Kurt is attuned not only to the major advertising campaigns with celebrity endorsements that bombard the city daily, not only the news headlines he may see as he waits in line at the bank, but also the children in strollers in their Baby Jordan sneakers and the woman he remembers from times past but who had to go her own way.

Never Too Late to Learn -- or Teach
Posted by mamta on Saturday, July 04, 2009 (07:33:57)
Soon I had to pull an all-nighter to study for a midterm in a class I’d barely attended, and I also was supposed to turn in a poem. Sometime between 4:00 and 7:00 a.m., I must have accessed my subconscious in a type of narcoleptic trance and wrote the first true poem of my life, a piece about a friend battling an eating disorder that my peers said was so good it could “stand up and walk out of the room.”

Review: Book: Songs of Paradise: A Harvest of Poetry and Verse Author: Justice J
Posted by mamta on Saturday, July 04, 2009 (07:24:08)
Each poem in the collection is poignant and vivid. As with any piece of art, Songs of Paradise is open to interpretation. However one interprets it, Justice Ogoola’s ability to explore the heartache of humanity and the complex issues in governance show an acknowledgement of the depravity of mankind. His focus on God and the perfection of paradise reveals the solution to that very depravity....
