Corvus Paperback – November 1, 1995

Now that Ginsberg and Creeley and many others are no longer with us, Anselm Hollo is the senior spokesperson for the Beat and West Coast Renaissance. And he has always had a special voice of his own--anti-Establishment but never fanatical or humorless. He is always a fun read, and CORVUS shows him at his best. . . PS: A few weeks after this review was written, Anselm Hollo passed away. All the more reason to let him live in our heads by reading this book.

This is a poet I enjoy reading and this book is no exception. He has a wonderful comic sense about his craft, and his sense of what is really important is comforting.
