CVII / curry, jw., 1985

 Item
Identifier: CC-20746-21150
Scope and Contents

This is a negative review of Vol.9 No.1 issue of CVII, a Canadian poetry magazine. curry wrote to the Sackners that he did not want to do this review but the editors of What #2 (Kevin Connolly & Jason Sherman) insisted upon it as a condition for reviewing Kaldron No.19 & Howard the Duck #32. Thus, curry writes: "CVII 9:1 was a dull & next to unevenful journey through a myopic literary wasteland. ...we take this volume & boil it in mustard. & i'd be willing to bet that it'd be an improvement. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-20748-21152
Scope and Contents

curry gives a highly favorable review for What #2. "these are not "experimental" works & this is not a magazine of same. these are fully realized accomplishments in the realm of visual language, a realm in which the wallpaper poem & scattered collage proliferate. Kaldron is a tasty antidote to drive away the eyesoreness caused by most magazines of its ilk." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
