The Drastic Surgeon/Peter Mangiaracina
Posters slapped onto city buses and benches show a steady hand gripping a gleaming scalpel. Bold lettering with a fuzzy shadow jumps out with the name SILAS CARVER, Plastic Surgeon to the Stars. I am he. Sans stars—unless you count the porn actress whose nipples I nudged a few centimeters north. Something about easier access.  It was a Tuesday morning. I was shuffling papers on my desk because…

Lemon Language by Hager Youssef/"A Body Like a City"
The book Lemon Language by Hager Youssef published by Sulfur Editions While the title suggests the importance of the lemon, it does not appear directly as a symbol within the poems themselves. The absence of lemons might be symbolic, indicating a “sour” or bittersweet quality to the themes explored in the collection or perhaps a hidden or absent core that the language circles around. The body…

Levinson’s Quantum Foam by John Olson
Levinson’s Quantum Foam The task ahead of me is as alluring as it is frustrating. Any description of what Heller Levinson does with words cannot be hemmed in by conventional means. It’s so completely anything. It’s so unutterably utterable. Substantives are packed together like magnets in a generator. Electrical power is increased by the voltage of an urgent grammaticality. Urgent means urgent.…

The Surrealist Coin: Heads or Tales?
The Surrealist Coin: Heads or Tales? This book beckons us into the labyrinthine world of Surrealism and its complex relationship with money.
