Gillian Prew's "In the Broken Things" is a collection of verse which brings together a series of poems inspired by dreams and a series of poetry abstracts. Gillian Prew is adept at the art of poetry, as displayed by her subtle, yet masterful use of language, literary device and images. Gillian, quite organically, spins sophisticated verse with an artistry that is familiar to the common reader. Prew's approach to staples of philosophical and poetic thought hackneyed by the marriage of art/business, such as: love, sex and the questions of life curve expectations. The tone of many of these pieces is a sobering and dulcet mix, but it is this realistic expression that offers a nostalgic response not lustered by pretense. "In The Broken Things" by Gillian Prew is real verse, by one of this generation's best, unknown poets; an illumination into the soul, a captured essence of the human condition.
Chris D'Errico's collection of poetry Vegas Implosions is an examination of the sordid city of sin from this Massachusetts born poet. Now in this new expanded edition that includes the 'script The Exterminator Chronicles, D'Errico has broken down and recreated a new volume that is a macro and micro cosm of sin city itself, both as a citizen and as an exterminator. D'Errico's unique visual/graphic poetry, intermixed with his snapshot/sketch type style plays a role as anew generation of beat-flavored poetry captures the Vegas landscape. Vegas Implosions was originally published as a saddle stitch chapbook by Virgogray Press in 2008. This edition contains new poems, as well as revised though remains true to the original vibe of the first edition chapbook. Be on the look out for Ministry of Kybosh, also by Chris D'Errico, soon from Virgogray Press.

Subhankar Das' new offering of poetry, his collection, By the Banks of the Ajoy, Jaideb Vanishes into the Blue, is a first for Virgogray Press in that it is printed bilingual-in English and Bangla. Many of the poems in the collection follow a trail of stream of thought, cut-up, a beatish ripple in the flow of words, subtle and overt wisdoms, and colorful use of imagery that at times touch the reader with pure psychosomaticism. The title poem of the book alludes to authors Henry Miller and Henry Denanant while mingling with echos of Bangla lore of the mythical poet Jaideb who lived by the river Ajoy. This collection offers a recalling of such traditions and is also an outstanding introduction to American readers to the work of Subhankar Das, a poet carving a niche for himself in his homeland of Kolkata, Bengal, India as a purveyor and advocate of underground Bangla poetry and literature.
David S. Pointer has proven, if anything, to be a versatile writer. Save the humdrum of traditional poets for aging spinsters, David takes his literary talent in Sinister Splashplay and introduces to the reader a realm of written work, all individual, self-sufficient poems, that create a body of work suffice to say a vision rent with vivid and creative images, steampunk and science fiction and rock and roll entering the realms of poetry as only one with talents as Mr. Pointer can; a tip of the hat to genre writing with a quasi-sophistication for those who peer between the covers. A certain fact is David S. Pointer is going places, whether here or there, in name or body, and we are pleased to share this brief glimpse into the greater garden hidden behind the gates of his mind.
