Both Magazine 
Edited by 'Ha-Ha' 

reviewed by Tom Hartman
  


Finally...

In addition to demonstrating that it's quite possible to make a cool text-only web page, the homepage of Both magazine, a 1 year-old print mag out of Alston, MA, that has published work by James Tate, Tomaz Salamun and Joe Wenderoth among others, also showcases a truly marvelous sample poem by Michael Lynch, titled "Of All Your Tatoos, These are My Favorites." The following is a brief excerpt:

2. Nape of the neck

stippled starfish
naked in an oblong tidepool.
a breathing pulp, baby's-lip-soft
with the pool drying inward.
your hair a grass fringe
at its dotted edges.

Great stuff. Surf on over to Both for the rest (along with additional samples from whitney pastorek, Lawrence Upton and others), and keep your eyes peeled for more work from Lynch.
