This issue featured THE LADY BUG LETTERS, I turn and see a Niagara Falls of beer cascading majestically over the counter, pooling into a Lake Erie of beer on the floor, flowing out of the hidden bucket aquifier of beer under the drain... gallons and gallons of beer... OOOPS!!!who still manages to keep the bartending job; a diary that I found myself skipping, some poems, artwork and a receipe for un-tarnishing silver. Most contributions were by the editor Asha Anderson (the Ashabot), including THE ROAD: ...standing by the road that goes everywhere standing lying by that road eye level to it wondering standing by the road that so conveniently comes even to me the road that turns around and disappears into itself...There were a selection of poems by John Chance to mark the 10th anniversary of his death, including WINTER: ...Where the January sun causes steam to rise from the grass, enfeebling cold fingers more. To move is a mundane project of prospects made whole by the failing man seeking to encase the situation into something respective to itself...There was no explanation as to who Lady Bug is/was or why her letters were being published — it felt like eavesdropping part way through a soap opera. REDDOG is strongly Beat-influenced but not as significant. | ||
