Electric Review

Culture & Criticism Since 2003

“Nocturne”

She came
Forth falling:

The moon
(in)
The window
(grits)
Its teeth
(night)
Sky watching
(the woman)
Pin up
Her hair
(and)
Kneel in
To bed

(night)
Sky watching
(blood)
In the wind
(raw)
Musky smell
Of cougars
(in)
The tall grass

(hunger)
Is raging
(beauty)
Cool soft pure
(in)
The murmurs
(of)
The unborn
(as)
The woman
Lays down
(falling):

Into these sweet
Half dreams
Of sleep

The Electric Review further states that these entities and individuals submit materials to us of their own volition and understand that the submission of material is for discretionary consideration by the Editor and is not to be construed as to be in ‘exchange’ for a review.

In sum, The Electric Review accepts no payment for the publication of a review. Instead, commentary is published as a free public service with reviews based solely on merit and the lasting classroom or cultural value of a given work: this compendium of essays meant to serve as an electronic library and on-going teaching resource surveying the 21st-century landscape.
