Summary: Ashes to ashes ...
Comment: A thoroughly tepid and uninspired collection of short stories, poetry, and prose that will no doubt prove disenchanting for those of us who champion and cherish works published by independent presses. With few exceptions the prose/poetry in this anthology resides on the shallow, anemic, and dissolute side of underground literature available today. Although many of the featured writers have gone on to either achieve a modicum of fame, success, and/or notoriety (Kathy Acker being a notably conspicuous example) most of their work in this collection suffers from an insipid "ameteurism". Oh, to be sure, Creation Press billed this book as "estranged from the binds of linear narrative" (supposedly) in defiance of "the estabishment which seeks to perpetuate" all manner of drivel upon a predominantly infantilized mainstream audience inured to the schlock that is excreted by the media/press/etc. on a daily basis. But in order to produce good prose we still need/crave something intelligible, coherent, and honest before it can be recognized as art, literature, creative expression, whatever. So please do yourself a favor and don't bother even looking over this volume.
