Current issue also available in various electronic formats atOn Books by Paul Di Filippo IntroductionAlthough each of these fine small-press volumes could support my usual interminable exegesis at greater lengths than they’re given here, I feel that even just a short, sharp, sincere boost is valuable for alerting you to their existence, and allows me to spread the press-coverage wealth, such as it is, amongst as many titles as possible. So without further ado . . . PoetryA very handsome cover and interior illos by Matt Taggart are the icing on the tasty cake that is Corrine De Winter’s demi-gothic Tango in the Ninth Circle (Dark Regions Press, chapbook, $6.95, 43 pages, ISBN 1-888993-42-1). De Winter’s poems are like Tori Amos’s songs: piercing, melancholy, reflective; unlike Amos, De Winter relies fruitfully on the supernatural as metaphor and talisman. She namechecks Leonard Cohen in “Enter Valentine” and that old bard’s mournful yet hopeful and ruminative tone is another apt comparison. In a poem like “The Body in Love,” De Winter perfectly fuses the corporeal limitations and exaltations of our material forms with the spiritual longings and imaginings of our souls.These mixed media, so to speak, convey the varying levels of reality, which begin to bleed into one another, especially when the Dennis-type characters are seen in the background of a naturalistic panel. Such a formalistic achievement conveys thematic points in ways more subtle—and, paradoxically, more forceful—than most strictly textual material could.us with precise and robust language.NO MORE WARFESTIVAL ECSTATIQUE > > 3 Days of Poetry, Music and Bare Trees > > NOV 16-18 2007 > > Charles Potts > Richard Krech > Charles Plymell > Mike Watt > Thurston Moore > Valerie Webber > Sara Jaffe > Angela Jaeger > John Oliver Simon > Bill Nace > Emma Young > Yomul Yuk > Slander Puff (Burkett/Capistran/Ireton/Klein/Shaw) > Dredd Foole > Gown > Matt Krefting > Marci Denusiak > Hair Wars (Kate Biggar/Paul Flaherty) > Mirror/Dash > Byron Coley > George Wallace > Bree > Traum Ecke > Rick Beaty > Corrine de Winter > Grant Hart > Wesley Eiwald > JR > > Saturday November 17, noon ‘til midnight.
