The Maverick Poets
"Marverick" may be a bit much--they might be better considered a counterculture, the (mostly) non-violent resisters to the rule of academics and effetes. They're Bukowski, Carver, Corso, DiPrima, Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg, Olds, Snyder and a host more--and they're mostly terrific.

The Dumbbell Nebula
Poetry. Whether describing the Devil reciting poetry in Hell, the faith of uprooted mice, or a last encounter with a doomed friend, Steve Kowit's poetry has chosen, in the manner of certain Sufi tales, a disarmingly earthy presence. Rhapsodic and hilarious by turns, this poetry is as engaging and accessible as vivid prose. Steve Kowit is the author of several collections of poetry and IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND: THE POET'S PORTABLE WORKSHOP; he has also translated Pablo Neruda's INCITEMENT TO NIXONCIDE AND PRAISE FOR THE CHILEAN REVOLUTION and edited THE MAVERICK POETS anthology. The recipient of an NEA and other awards, he has published work in numerous anthologies and journals including The Los Angeles Times and The New Yorker. He teaches at Southwestern College in Chula Vista.
Crossing Borders
Poetry. Art. Poems by Steve Kowit. Drawings and Watercolors by Lenny Silverberg. Although humor can be a switchblade of critical deconstruction and these guys can swing it with the best of them, right here, right now, they're going for soul. Cutting deeper. So get ready. They render a double dose, slicing to the bone with achingly fine-tuned artistry. Kowit and Silverberg have each honed their characteristic styles down to a focused, reductive form--accomplished contrarianly (as is their wont) by addition. Kowit plus Silverberg equals way more than two. Yet together, they reduce abstract social, political and economic issues to something more basic: representational humanity.
