Pump Prime/$.99/Neal Wilgus
Juxtopedia Press 927 Camino Hermosa Corrales, NM 87048


Reviewed by:  Christopher Robin

More philosophical than whimsical, with a surrealist bent, of course, Wilgus’s new chapbook is astonishing in it’s simplicity: “no, we can’t deny/history and print/but it seems so/long ago in the future/which will come again/I’m sure/!” (‘Dot the Connects”).

Though I didn’t find myself laughing out loud like his past attempts, I did find myself re-reading the poems, knowing  there was a sweet message inherent in many of them;  and sometimes confusion and surrender: “the empty highway/covered with sand/in the disappearing curve/reminds that at last/we don’t know where we’re going,” (‘Starless’). Sweetly written, a good effort.

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.
