“That’s not dynamite you’ve got, that’s another damn poet at work.”

Mavis Jones summed it up at the Corner Pocket, Thursday, October 26. It was poetry that took the mike and ran with it through environmental issues, India, and a retelling of Cinderella. First up,
however, was Brian Kaufman, the editor of SUB-Terrain magazine, with a well-worn novella called, “Tough Love.” Tough it was, terse and emotionally uninvolving, rife with redneck descriptions of women
and men, “subtle as loud farts.” Kaufman relayed his streetwise characters through a patter of profanities which soon grew tiresome. Dennis Bolen, who read after the break, seemed to be Kaufman’s literary
twin, a middle-aged Holden Caulfield equally fond of obscenities as he told the tale of “The Groaner” from his novel, Stand in Hell. Both men’s fiction involved brawls, despicable men whose guts bulged “like
leaches” and women in appealing undergarments. Immature, yes, but both, unfortunately, crowd pleasers.

Mavis and the last reader, Martha Stainsby, were characterized by their unshakeable voices and the depths they tried. Mavis employed metaphors that always strayed from the expected, such as, “water
curdled like leper skin”, quietly intent with her stance on issues where it seems that “no one is on the shore watching.” Martha, twisting a red scarf and rolling back on her heels as she read, jutted her voice into
the crowd of thirty to bring us her Anansi-like chants of “snake” and “The Second City” the healed return to. The open mike closed the evening, highlights being Maliaka’s Sarah McLaughlin-inspired song and
Jerome Wakeland’s shy-guy at the bar poems. Next month, two readings, November 9th with four Canada Council sponsored readers and the 30th with an international array of voices.

 

 

   

This is the new section of the paper where meaningless
information or maybe something interesting is found.
So here is a neato word search puzzle.

Only for Michael Jackson, Thriller fans.
