Poetry. This volume contains parts 5 & 6 William James Austin's underground classic, UNDERWORLD. As the opening poem describes, Austin puts forth "a poetry which copylates beneath the pavement. so how the reader reads is a kind of surface experience, initially--like taking a walk around the city and feeling the underground connections--electric shocks to the body--subways who rattle their sunken cages--/the storm underfoot". Austin has worked as a musician and song writer in the worlds of jazz and rock music. Currently he co-edits the experimental literary magazine, BLACKBOX, while teaching at the State University of New York.

Review
"William James Austin stands as a Prince among our post-modern cartographers of hell." -- Jesse Glass, author of Lexical Obelisk
"William James Austin's work has soul and music and street and bodily fluids . . . and jazz and feels American." -- August Highland, Muse Apprentice Guild
"more earth-scraping than sky-scraping, but a nice balance of both. . . . O'Hara and Ginsberg too, but better than either, I think." -- Bob Grumman, co-editor of Writing To Be Seen
William James Austin -- Poetul newyorkez par excellence. -- Stefan Stoenescu, Caiete Internationale De Poezie

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tour de Force,
By Anna Morgan (Warwick, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 5 Underworld 6 (Paperback)
These poems are very evocative, uncompromising and yet beautiful. I'm not much of a poetry reader but these got under my skin. I plan to buy another copy of this book for a friend.
