The December Bookslut.com issue is up now. My column, marsupial inquirer, is published at: http://www.bookslut.com/marsupial_inquirer/2003_12_001169.php.
Check out what I say about John Latta and Peter Gizzi's new books.
In Cahoots
Dale Smith: "The name, for Benjamin, was the point of revelation, a portal for relations in the world. It was a dynamic force at tension in the poet's mind. Integral to the process of art, language seems to function in an almost quantum process. It discloses and it deceives. It relates but it also pulls the wool over our eyes. There's a trickster element in this, and it's what certain poets find most compelling--this unknowable, constantly shifting force."
Really sharp review, I think. I haven't read the Gizzi book yet, but after just finishing Breeze, I feel yr review captures the elements that make Latta so compelling: an inquisition into language that moves both outward and inward, causing both the word and world to become clearer, sharper, and more deeply felt. Anyway, I enjoyed yr insights.
