Meat by Erin Reardon:

Reviewed by Michael Grover

If you're looking for pretty poetry, go somewhere else, this isn't it. If you're looking for real blood, real raw poetry that just has to leave the head before it hurts someone. Erin is for you. Many may know Erin as Ms. Sally MacLennanne on myspace. Her poems are brutal and messy, and they don't hold back anything. In other words they are just what poems should be. Also her poems have an amazing rhythm to them. They just flow so smoothly you can tell this is poetry that was not meant to be contained in a book. This is poetry that was meant to be read out loud from street corners, or bars at open mics. The title Meat pretty much says it all as this is bloody and messy. It is thick for a chapbook and very nicely put together (Erin is a print shop worker by day.). I urge you to contact her at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it  for details about ordering.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
