Weird New Jersey

reviewed by Tom Hartman

Originally published on October 1, 2001

Going up against Randy Constan’s Peter Pan’s Homepage in the “weird” category of this year’s Webbys, Weird New Jersey didn’t stand a chance. No matter how bizarre your content, it’s tough to compete with photos of a late-forty-something bloke leaping about in a ragged-hemmed green tunic or posing longingly in front of a fireplace decked [...]

Poetry Super Highway

reviewed by Tom Hartman

Originally published on October 1, 2001

The initial raison detre of Poetry Super Highway was to promote the poetry and other activities of literary entrepreneur Rick Lupert. But since its launch a donkey’s age ago, this site has evolved into both a zine of sorts (there are submission guidelines) and a fairly rich resource for all things poetry-related. On the zine [...]

Drunken Boat

reviewed by Tom Hartman

Originally published on October 1, 2001

After a spotty initial effort, Drunken Boat has returned with an impressive second issue (Winter/Spring 2001). Edited by Ravi Shankar, who notes in his bio that he does NOT play the Sitar, and elegantly designed by Michael Mills, Drunken Boat features poetry, criticism and an assortment of web-friendly art. Overall, readers will find here a [...]

The Other Side of Eden

reviewed by Emily Banner

Originally published on October 1, 2001

The Other Side of Eden is a puzzle of a book, by turns engrossing and dull, insightful and preachy. In it, Hugh Brody examines hunter-gatherer cultures, individually and in general, and looks at how these societies coexist — and, more often, clash — with the rest of the world, which can be generally summed up [...]

Light and Shadow

Originally published on October 1, 2001

It’s a bright gray afternoon, air vivid and bristling with that light just before a snowstorm. The salt on the sidewalk sparkles beneath Alex’s boots. The rush hour sounds fade as she heads north, cutting across the huge park that bisects the city. An oasis in a desert of metal and cement, she thinks. She [...]

Qualities or Characteristics Of

The way you’ll see his smoke before him, coming around a corner, eddying out into thin winter air, and the way eddies automatically associate with backwater and dust and lives that just backwater and settle. He smokes, “knows it will kill him,” as they say. I like to pronounce it accurately, kill him, to emphasize [...]

Duty at Mekong Delta

Originally published on October 1, 2001

They’re white as rice that wasn’t thrown at us.  His stack of letters (nineteen-sixty-eight’s  Mail, barely legible) was saved, penned straight,  Not far from enemy lines. Infamous:  The Mekong Delta, toured by curious  Loved ones, prepared to demonstrate  Our grief, disarm now, do what liberates,  Surrendering to the incongruous.  His presence here seems reconstructed as [...]

Goldeye, Vole

by Tami Haaland

Originally published on October 1, 2001

I say sweep of prairie or curve or sandstone, but it doesn’t come close to this language of dry wind and deer prints, blue racer and sage, its punctuation white quartz and bone. I learned mounds of mayflowers, needle grass on ankles, the occasional sweet pea before I knew words like perspective or travesty or [...]
