Wall of Kiss (Paperback) by Gina Ranalli |
my rating:

Rich said:
"Comparisons to Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" are obvious, yes. But like Gilman, Ranalli is able to slowly unravel the sanity of a character until nothing is left.

"If prose-poet Russel Edson could possibly get stranger and weirder than he already is, he'd write flash fiction like Andersen Prunty.

The Cantos of Ezra Pound (New Directions Paperbook) by Ezra Pound |
my rating:
|

Rich said:
"Probably one of the most maddening, frustrating books of poetry ever written. To read this is to swim in a million allusions, hardly ever grounded. Plus, Pound never finished it. But, page by page, his mastery of language is most apparent.

Enjoyed ITTCS very much, Rich! A creepy little read, and I was impressed by how well you wrote in the female pov through Beth. Your 1984 setting came off as very vivid, and I enjoyed the 80s metal references! heh
