Poetry Review: “Any Song Will Do” — A Very Worthwhile Discovery

Donald Levering’s poems exhort us to be less left-brained, to side more often with intuition, creativity, flights of fancy.

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Any Song Will Do, Donald Levering, Poetry, Red Mountain Press

Book Review: “And Go Like This” — Short Stories of Distinction

The stories in And Go Like This are wise, compassionate, and deftly crafted.

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: And Go Like This, John Crowley

Book Review: Robert Glick’s “Two Californias” — An Affinity for Fragmentation

Two Californias is full of humor, good writing, and thoughtful angles on human existence—with zombies thrown in for good measure.

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: C&R Press, Robert Glick, Two Californias

Literary Remembrance: Homage to Guy Davenport — Brilliance Worth Savoring

Book Review: “My Red Heaven” — The City as a Mirror for Consciousness

Few contemporary authors much care to tussle with the proverbial mot juste; Lance Olsen insists on it, and over the course of fifteen novels, five books of nonfiction, and five short story collections, has shown himself a master of prose style.

Literary Reconsideration: A.S.Byatt’s “Possession”

Tour de force? Not quite. Joycean? Perhaps in the way contemporary individuals overlap with ancient, mythical counterparts.

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Commentary, Review Tagged: A.S. Byatt, Possession

Arts Remembrance: A Tribute to Poet and Writer John Ash

We were both English-speaking ex-patriots living in Istanbul, and John Ash’s poetry spoke eloquently to that shared experience.

Book Review: A Biography of John Berger — A Seminal Artist and Thinker

If you have not read John Berger, by the end of this biography you’re likely to feel an urgent need to pick up one of his books.

Book Review: “The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee” — Dreaming a New Dream for Native Americans

In this remarkable and timely book, David Treuer is determined that Native American history not be seen as a “catalog of pain.”

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: David Treuer, Native Americans, The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee

Book Review: “Five Cities” — Urban Meditations on Turkish History and Culture

Five Cities is a species of psychogeography, a deep map, that weighs the effects of topography, urban environments, and monuments of the past on mood and perspective.

By: Vincent Czyz Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar, Five Cities, Vince Czyz
