Earth, Fire: Notes On Burials By Jayant Kashyap
arts The etymology of words pays much more than a passing role in Jayant Kashyap’s award-winning new collection for Poetry Business: his journey into the katabatic underworld of ritual and cultural observance is illuminated, at every turn, by recourse to the guideposts of language. Insinuating words, and their meanings, directly from the dictionary and into the text of his poems, Kashyap mediates an otherwise profoundly intransigent meditation.

by Sean Body That Mark Eitzel remains virtually unknown is a proverbial example that genius often goes unrewarded. In a decade musically defined by ironic, emotional detachment, Mark Eitzel’s music (both with and without his former band, American Music Club) provides a visceral counterweight to this lack of substance. Although self-deprecating in concert, his recordings bristle with a sense of urgency and escape, of loss and redemption.
