FEATURING
=== The New Peri Bathous by Emma Featherwaite ===
Or the Art of Falling Flat on Your Face and Embarrassing Yourself in Poetry
(excerpt) "The ability to produce howlers in the midst of otherwise solemn
poetry should not be confused with less intense variations of the muse.
These include not only repetition, forms of self-parody common to most
poets, but poetry written when the mind is out to lunch, on days when
personal elevators don't quite reach the top floor. Two such examples will
quickly establish the great superiority of the previous examples."
=== Linh Dinh reports from Saigon ===
Hit Ya' Back!
(excerpt) "Eighty percent of Vietnamese will claim that they are Buddhists.
What this means, most of them will have a hard time explaining. Visits to a
temple are for the purpose of praying for personal gains, not to hear a
sermon...In the Vietnamese universe, Buddhism is merely a thin blanket half
hiding an animist demon. "
