Review of Dear Ra
[Just ran across this mini-review of my novel Dear Ra at the Black Ocean Blog:]
Dear Ra
Johannes Goransson
Starcherone, 2008
$16.00
The flinches of Dear Ra consist of confessions, cautions, and insincere apologies. "If the ship is sinking don't make love to the rats." Like Burroughs without the slamming boys, it's a constantly-changing party line. It's "a Haiku about Bang-Bang-Ugh." Too many poems these days are really surrealist novels in hiding; it's nice to see one that comes into the clear. [John Cotter]
