Many thanks to the heroic editor/publisher Lou Rowan for yet another fantastic issue (#31) of Golden Handcuffs Review. Please consider purchasing a copy (at your local bookstore or at the GHR website). The new issue includes an essay by Norman Fischer: the first overview of my poetry over 30 years and many books; thanks, Norman! And poems by Susan M. Schultz, Alice Notley, Rae Armantrout, and many others. I also have an essay, focusing mainly on Norman Fischer’s Nature (a revision, response to Emerson’s Nature).
Please do buy & support Golden Handcuffs Review! Subscribe through the website, www.goldenhandcuffsreview.com, or order through Small Press Distribution. My essay in GHR #30 is a study of Mei-mei Berssenbrugge’s A Treatise on Stars, written well before the book was a National Book Award finalist and before Mei-mei (CONGRATS!) received the Bollingen Prize. Early in the essay: “This is a stunning book. … I now understand Berssenbrugge’s poetry, particularly Treatise, as a kind of instruction manual – phenomenological (refreshing how we see, hear, think), spiritual, strange, beautiful, other-worldly. It is an encouragement to us to become open to the vibrations of other beings and to the complexities of a quantum-physics world.”
Every time a new issue of Golden Handcuffs Review arrives, it drops like a lifejacket I didn't know I needed until that very second (and usually around some other portentous event). Number 29 is the latest, greatest exemplar.
