Frog Lake Massacre retold in experimental poetry
Posted by fogglethorpe on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 (16:32:16)
For one former St. Albert author, the events spurred a book of poetry, the likes of which I’ve never seen. Now based out of Calgary, Paul Zits appears to have artistic flair. Perhaps that’s why Massacre Street seems so experimental, so creative and so captivating..

Two Book Reviews: "2312" and "The Yellow Birds"
Posted by mamta on Sunday, April 21, 2013 (13:58:32)
Poetry News: My first impression of "2312" by Kim Stanley Robinson is that the author could use a good editor, or needs to take up short-form poetry to sharpen his descriptive skills.

Posted by fogglethorpe on Thursday, April 18, 2013 (15:00:00)
Fuller's solutions to poetry's puzzles may be infuriatingly complex, but they do tell us about the way in which poets work This is, in some ways, an extremely infuriating book, one rather removed from the populist promises of the title..

Calcutta: Two Years in the City by Amit Chaudhuri - review
Posted by fogglethorpe on Tuesday, April 09, 2013 (15:00:00)
Modernity is Chaudhuri's subject, his cause. His Calcutta, or at least the one he fell in love with when he was younger, offered "a self-renewing way of seeing, of inhabiting space, of apprehending life"..

Review: The 'Alabaster: Wolves' Hardcover
Posted by fogglethorpe on Tuesday, April 09, 2013 (00:13:51)
When I first stumbled on Alabaster: Wolves, I was a bit apprehensive. At the surface, the book felt a bit like Buffy with a southern bend to it. Of course, it only took a few pages for that all to melt away. Kiernan's Dancy Flammarion was born in prose, but I have to say that she looks like she was made for comics..

Book Review: Triplebock - Three Beer Stories, Evan Rail
Posted by fogglethorpe on Wednesday, April 03, 2013 (15:45:00)
But the plots are not actually what I found most interesting this afternoon. It was how Evan writes about good beer quite directly in each story yet more of his important stuff was in the effect the beer had on characters and, maybe even more interesting, how the beer and maybe the characters are ultimately not the point..
