by
Henry Singer
Our new East Bank editor revisits a midseason replacement and comments
on the Carter Years, when men were men and high-concept was still high.
HEARTBREAK
CITY TEASER
by
Richard Eoin Nash
and Tom Hopkins
Not
a Cars or Kiss song. It is, rather, a journey into the center of the
Mind/Body Problem, philosophy for white punks on dope.
FOUND
POETRY
by
Daniel Nester
He didn't write 'em, folks. He was just a substitute teacher, and fell
into some lucky verse from some unlikely bards.

read. OK?

the best. As the poet once wrote, brevity is indeed as wit of the soul.
THE CONCLUSION OF A POEM WITH 1,001 SENTIMENTS

Duhamel
Fresh, "feeling" work from a soldier in keeping the culture

keeps it to the skin, "obstinately full of holes," which answers
back to the question of whether things suddenly become simple. They
don't.
ONE
UNTITLED POEM
by
Sal Salasin
A
little sumpin-sumpin from a True Bastion from the heartland. Sal will,
Sal will rock you.

quality one usually associates with, well, great poetry.
PERIPATETIC
IN A NEW TOWN: AN EXPLORATION
by
Robin Mookerjee
Three poems, actually.
THREE POEMS, MEMORIZABLE
by
Marj Hahne
Brevity seems to be a theme here. But so do earlobes. It's not unsual
to swim slowly through these. It would do you good.
Special
bonus: three hot shots with one shots...
EMAIL FROM MY MOTHER...
by Jane Varley
No, not your mother.
MAN
APPREHENDED, NOT CONNECTED
by
Angelo Verga
Insert a showbiz story here, about how when this poem was read, people
gasped. But you can do that blotter work for yourself.
DITTY
by
Garth Graper
"My girlfriend stuck her head once/in a lions mouth..." How
does anyone top that? He does. Read on, and a new bold voice is born
unto us.
