Title: lookin' for danger? this AIN'T it.
Review: well, well, well. where to start? where are the BROWN people in this book? are they *too* dangerosa for the editors? Yes, yes, I know there is a few, but few and far between. why so many of these poets have only one book? could their careerist attitudes only get them into one contest win and kaput, it's done. I say hurrah to anyone who wants to teach dangerous work, but this book ain't it. sure there are glimpses of deadpan genius throughout, but nothing that i wouldn't just call "quirky"--definitely NOT dangerous. Where is the west coast richness of verve and moxie? and where is jennifer moxley? i'm all for teaching some of these folks individually, but to call it definitive and dangerous, well, that's jes pure false advertising.
Is the review positive or negative?
