This vintage number of the scholarly journal dedicated to postmodern literature, chiefly edited by Robert Kroetsch & William V. Spanos, features a suite of five poems by Diane Wakoski, the acclaimed & prolific Beat-influenced poet associated with the Deep Image School who has long resided here in Michigan. On the title page preceding the poems (pg. 201), Wakoski has hand-written her signature with characteristic series of vertical doodles, just below her printed name. Also in this issue are contributions of poetry & prose by Douglas Blazek, Robert Bly, Robert Kelly (pioneering master of the Deep Image School) & many others; an interview with the venerable American poet Nathaniel Tarn conducted by Mike Erwin & Jed Rasula, an essay on Tarn's work by Stanley Corngold, & a section of poetry & prose by Tarn himself. With photographs including a portfolio by Donald Bell, illustrations, reviews, notes on contributors. A rich issue in this venerable series; & a rare, desirable collectible in the Wakoski canon.
