Sex & Death

Sex and Death: Passion?s Welts? is Mishka Zakharin?s ninth anthology of original poetry?and never before has his innately pugnacious solecism been so loquaciously and lyrically esoteric? (or, well, maybe once? but it?s still very nice?) Zakharin?s poetry has the flavor of Pablo Neruda?as possessed by Mikhail Bulgakov? who is being poked with a stick by Vladimir Mayakovsky? while Stephen Crane and Jack Kerouac look on?? (maybe Groucho Marx off there in the back somewhere, strumming a guitar?)
