This is a note I just posted to Chris Emery at Salt regarding "Jen's" posting about Angel Exhaust 19. Hey Chris-- The posting on Angel Exhaust is wrong. The ending, on page 142 of issue 19 goes like this: Methan: Why is it called Devastate your Aunt Jeremy? Manly: It was a misundertanding between the two editors. Methan: Are you going to explain the poetic landscape, and your spectrum allotment, as a way of telling the reader what to expect? Manly: They probably wouldn't know what to expect even if we disclosed all that. Methan: So what's the poetry like? Manly: It is full of wonderfully sibilant s and amazingly lateral l sounds. Let me expand on that if you will. Corcoran is like Corcoran. Glass is like Glass. Holman is like Holman. Holman is more like Holman than like Morris. Methan: I've never heard of them. Manly: Maybe you should read Angel Exhaust. Not a word in Duncan's back page note about Mssrs. Philpot or Nolan. Jen's telling a fib that you should correct to set the record straight. Jesse Glass Take a look at the Saline posting and you'll see the difference a little creative editing can do.
