CHAPBOOKS
The Maximum
Sarah Campbell
 DESCRIPTION: Chapbook. 40 pages. 5 ½ x 5 ½ inches. (2008). Edition of 80 copies. $7
Just read—a first real read—The Maximum and think it is everything I am currently searching and hoping for in poetry: how a two-word poem, "Some Day," holds such worlds of feeling times thought condensed...this is the seashell Valéry talks about: the gradual and mysterious formation of six letters, sieved out of turbulence—stolen clarities amidst so much junk subjectivity that is living. I agree with minimalism's maximal intensities. Especially in our current languo-saturated straits, these are as perfect as poems come.

Some Kinds of Poems
Graham Foust
This is a set of poems (each with the word “poem” in its title) unpretentiously calling the nature of poetry into question. These are small, brilliant, desperate songs, each skewed yet accurate. Foust discovers the uncanny with every turn of phrase. I might say these poems are a kind of (black) magic, but Foust says:
Fuck magic.
I throw
this Frisbee and it goes
right to you.
