Published by Sam's Dot Publishing. $11.00 postpaid from: http://www.genremall.com/poetryr.htm "DeWinter's masterful verse awakens awe with every stroke. It was sheer pleasure to illustrate this marvelous collection. May your conscious wander freely through the treasures herein, and come away in wonderment recalling lines like these: I have only these hands -Marge Simon, Stoker Award Winning Illustrator Excerpt: FAITH I came with the first snow in the Year of the Dragon. You wouldn't have noticed, just a handful of silver dust commingled in the frozen white that fell like an acrobat. I came silently, without words, expecting no miracles on Earth. But it was love that gave me breath. From - "Virgin Of The Apocalypse"
19 march 2008Asimov's Sci Fi Magazine Stories from Asimov's have won 44 Hugos and 24 Nebula Awards, and our editors have received 18 Hugo Awards for Best Editor. On Books by Paul Di Filippo Introduction Although 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 . . . Poetry The preponderance of the poems in G. O. Clark’s 25˘ Rocket Ship to the Stars (Dark Regions Press, chapbook, $6.95, 50 pages, ISBN 978-1-888993-43-1) concern themselves with astronomical tropes: abandoned patio furniture on the Moon; an enigmatic celestial smile that frustrates telescopes; Spot the Dog, of children’s book fame, orbiting the Earth. As such, these poems read like enchanting, nostalgic fables of the Space Age. And every now and then, Clark tosses in a surreal bombshell like “Sunday at the Virtual Beach,” with its “honeybees with the facial features of cherubs,” just to loft your pleasures to a new realm of imagination. A 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. 11 march 2008Poetry readings by Corrine from the Festival Ecstatique have been posted on YouTube!
