Joshua Gage reviews the Dwarf Stars nominees
and has this to say about my poem, "Burns at Both Ends":
Burns at Both Ends • Rose Lemberg • Star*Line 32.1, Jan/Feb 2009
Lemberg might win the anthology's award for best vehicle with "feeling like gruel," which alone is enough to buy her way between these covers. That being said, the theme of this poem really works for me, especially considering that this is a poetry anthology and poetry, even as an art form, is considered by many to be frivolous when held up against things like opera, symphonies, novels, etc. Lemberg's poem caught me as almost a manifesto, and that energy also helped solidify its place in this anthology.
Yay! It is, indeed, somewhat manifesto-ish. The rest of the Dwarf Stars review is here.
