140 SHORTIES III might seem to be positing, over and over, the possibility of magnificence in a relatively trivial and silly private format. That format not only includes relative brevities. It also includes clumps of titles that rhyme with each other and includes a rather special back-&-forth way of moving from one versification to the next.The entire group of 140 pieces ultimately must be more of a verbal success than that same group ever could be any fount of real news or of anything like real ’info’. The following couple of examples might seem about averagely illustrative:LIFT Lift us abovehate and love. We remain quietregarding life’s dietof infinite passionsin endless fashions. Tending to senseno recompenseworth much while, I hereby styletoward neutral smile.DRIFTDrift upon driftof new-fallen snowhas given us dreams. A brave recallingwould be of scenesseemingly lost. Those sceneswould shine beacons. Every shiningmight seemalmost informative.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • The Truth about A
    Maureen O'Shaughnessy
    In his interpretation of Antigone, Seamus Heaney says, ‘Nobody can be sure they are always right.’ Maureen O’Shaughnessy’s The Truth about A further attends to this idea through various readings of the myth as portrayed by Sophocles, Brecht, Ted Hughes, Anne Carson and, most particularly, Euripides. Set in contemporary Sydney, among a fictional underworld family, The Truth abou...

  • Essays of Multiple Sorts ~~Two~~
    Bruce Howard Hamilton
    Essays of Multiple Sorts ~~Two~~ involves an attempt to improve older texts by a process of editing. The individual pieces are decidedly outside of what generally might be considered verse formats. Some of the offerings might seem wonderfully brief, whereas at least several might seem decidedly toward verbose. Though apparently likely to fail rather badly, the author tried to a...

    SMUG SENRYU, a collection of 240 syllabic haikulike ’itemettes,’ is intended to be very jokey, very fun. The essential smugness may be seen in how the author of the aggregation strove to cling absolutely to rigorous aspects of **5-7-5** in terms of counting the included syllables; also, each of the individual brief items might seem to insist on being only one basic English sent...

    Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ (a sort of sequel of 240 brief and quite standardly rhymed items to the same author’s recent **Double Baloney**) has a noticeably divergent formulaic aspect. At the top of every textual page of Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ should be a limerick that perhaps none too galumphingly forms an entire sweeping sentence; at the bottom of each textual page should be an I...

  • 120 Standard Limericks
    Bruce Howard Hamilton
    120 'STANDARD' LIMERICKS is a sort of sequel to another book by the same author. An absolute wish could be that this compilation might offer decided stylistic improvements over its predecessor. Each included limerick consists of a couple of carefully measured sentences. Ideally those should seem about as contrapuntally interrelatable as the octave and sestet in very classical s...
