Mairead Case says That Tiny Insane Voluptuousness…

…is “a valentine to friendship” in the latest issue of Make/shift. She also says, “The pieces pinwheel through topics–sex, technology, work–but are all rooted in form, ranging from the Oulipian (beautiful outlaws) to the academic-traditional (ghazals) to the Roonster/Gabbertian (limited freedoms). Most find kaleidescopic-wow ways to rhyme–’puppy chow,’ ‘holier-than-thou’–and others are just biting funny: ‘I look awesome in my lion makeup./Do you want me to jump off a building for you?’”

In the same review, she covers Barf Manifesto by Dodie Bellamy, Animal Shelter: Art, Sex, Literature (Issue 1) edited by Hedi El Kholti and Paul Gellman, and Live Nude Girl: My Life as an Object by yours truly. If you live in one of these places, you can pick up a copy of the magazine live and in person, but you can always order one from wherever you are here. Thanks, Mairead!
