Praise for 9x5:
These five poets have conspired to form a dizzying pentagram. Patricia Callan ricochets from over-exposed Playgirls to Sappho's pockets, with sexy anesthesiologists reciting a boob pantoum, while M.P. Carver considers Ke$ha's box under a depreciating sun and puts the end quotes in coyotes. JD Debris fixates on Hercules' steroids and secondhand crucifixes with Samuel Beckett on the basketball court. Gregory Glenn speculates about action freckles, rues a kitten named after Nixon, and is jostled in a heaven of elbows and apologies. Finally, Catherine Fahey is nearly lost in the murmuration of a Magic 8-Ball amidst a field of prosaic sheep in a field planted with hair. You are cordially invited to get lost in this pointed polygon. -Simeon Berry The poets in this collection curated by J.D. Scrimgeour are wildly individualistic, full of stories from their own corners of the universe, in conversation with art and ideas and one another. M.P. Carver, Patricia Callan, JD Debris, Catherine Fahey, and Gregory Glenn, represent the best of what happens when writers collaborate to form magical communities where anything is possible, where all voices are celebrated. -Carla Panciera
