Streets Enough to Welcome Snow by Rosmarie Waldrop
Streets Enough to Welcome Snow by Rosmarie Waldrop
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My five stars are based on an average rating of the sections. Mostly the book was a good solid 4-star read--you know: smart, classic-rosmarie goodness. But. One section, "Providence in Winter," received one of my famous, late-night, thousand-star downpours. Reading it felt like swimming. Call me a sucker. Call me a snorkeler.

Humours Run Deep by Tom Bridwell
Humours Run Deep by Tom Bridwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One of those crazy could-have-only-found-it-in-houston books that I'm so glad I bought. This book runs fast across the surface--as folksy as abstract as technical as he wants to be. I tinkled (perfectly literary response) with its many rolling-over inflect/ions. If you can find a copy, pick it up!

The Romance of Happy Workers by Anne Boyer
The Romance of Happy Workers by Anne Boyer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hell to the yes Anne Boyer for her smirky yawp at the piddly moon. Just when I started to worry about whether poetry's meta-isms are just masturbatory, it hit me: masturbating is great. Of course! We should all be rubbing them out with as much gusto as Boyer in this awesome book.

Miniature: Poems by Mac Wellman
Miniature: Poems by Mac Wellman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mac Wellman Mac Wellman Mac Wellman! An utterly sputtering act of macro-writing on (you thought they were small) points. All hail all that choruses in cinched jeering omni-verses. Come combustible choruses! Come wiry, thirsty choruses! The undoable diddles. The pekingese boxes. The nectar just spazzes as it makes its way down. Call that a 'Mac Wellman!' Play it again.

For the past 20 years Alexis Smith's mixed media work has explored primal American myths: the open road, the bad/good guy/gal, the quest for romance, and the search for paradise. This portrait of the artist explores the roots of her thought and work, and was produced in conjunction with her exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, held in November 1991.
