LULLABIES FOR JACKSON Misti Rainwater-Lites KSE #68


Reviewed by: Christopher Robin

Written prior to the birth of her son,” if you chose us/you know the circus you are in for/it’s crazy and confused with kaleidoscope colors/but endlessly swirling/with so much love.” From a poet who can write tenderly as well as rock ‘n; roll poems/poverty rants, her usual fare which is always far from the usual, you will only find the former in here. These poems are indeed, “swirling with love,” and they are also a  soft warning to her new child: “outside my window/little boys are screaming at play/in the apartment complex parking lot/I feel sorry for them/I know what it’s like/not having a yard of your own.”

These poems are untitled, straight from the hormonal gushing of the mother to be, and they never miss. Deeply personal, yet always relevant: “read dr. seuss/sing “winnie the pooh”/while daddy watches/the crumbling of america/on cnn.”

SEND WELL CONCEALED cash) payable to Bill Shute, 8200 Pat Booker Rd. #399, San Antonio, Texas, 78233

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.
