A Stand-Out in the Stand-Up School,
By
This review is from: The Dumbbell Nebula (The California Poetry Series) (California Poetry Series, V. 3) (Paperback)
As one who reads scores of poetry books and thousands of poems each year, I emerged from THE DUMBBELL NEBULA feeling like a fume-filled veteran who'd finally found fresh air. The book is a clear, accessible compilation of rollicking visions, rocabilly rhythms, resonant revelations, and arrresting images-- all carved with compassionate power.

Kowit is No Dumbbell,
By
This review is from: The Dumbbell Nebula (The California Poetry Series) (California Poetry Series, V. 3) (Paperback)
Kowit is impressive in this collection, a nice blending of humor and narrative voice in these free-ranging poems. Unpretentious, clear, moving, these poems are a joy to read and they serve as an antidote to the pseudo-philosophical goop that passes as poetry these days (see any recent issue of APR). Buy it if you like Koertge, Collins, Webb, Locklin--the West Coast "Stand-Up" school is alive and well.
