Lummox #3: A Poetry Anthology

Building on the success of Lummox #1 & #2, Lummox #3 introduces the reader to yet another slice of small press/underground poetry in the early part of the 21st century. In this volume, aside from the usual 170 or so poets represented, and the usual brilliant essay writing, interviews with John Macker, Grace Cavaleiri, Doug Holder, Rick Smith and Daniel McGinn; this issue also features poetry by John Sweet, William Taylor Jr. and Christina Foskey...winners of the first Lummox Poetry Prize! Sweet wins top honors, plus a cash prize and 50 copies of a chapbook, entitled The Century of Dreaming Monsters. Taylor and Foskey win a special book prize (from the Lummox Press catalog) plus a featurette in this issue. Rounding out this issue are reviews of the new Anais Nin memoir, What the Wind Says, Songs of the Glue Machines and the Editor attempts short blurb-reviews of a number of books that have "crossed my desk in the past year or so". 216 pages of poetic wonderfulness...that's what the reader can expect!
