Wake up readers of verse! MAL ARME by Victor Coleman has arrived! More Dorn than Adorno! Intellectual Hat and Bawdy Haus Heart! -- the Stompin' Tom of PostModern kanadian poetry, a true man of the people. Coleman is the great vaudevillian, the champion of Spicer's commitment to the poem, the one we should be listening to more of. His work is profound and most poets and languagers "would turn to dust with envy" had they such insights with so little interference. He is arguably the best poet we have now. Read him widely and deeply. -Andrew Whiteman
