Amy KingAntidotes for an AlibiBlazeVox BooksISBN 0-9759227-5-02005
These poems read to me like poetry versions of flash fiction. Now Black Chase Winovich Jersey , I like flash fiction very much, but I like the more fabulistic kind. Amy King is writing the fabulistic kind of flash fiction -- I want to say, "the good kind" -- in poetry. What does this mean? Well, when lineated, the line breaks in the poems point to the jumps in the narrative. When not, the poems still take the same little leaps that poems take. I guess I'm struggling with the new sentence this morning. I am not seeing "torsion" as I understand it, nor am I looking for it -- I am just saying that these poems have little leaps in them that flash fiction of a similar type does not. For example Black Joejuan Williams Jersey , this poem, "Evening In," is a story of screening a particular kind of call:
Evening In
Mother phoned the premature deathof father to me. A machine shuffledher words. I played back the storyof my childhood and grieved.
Now, I would probably end the stanza here, or title it something different. In any case, the evening in begins with a message in a machine. I would think flash fiction might use "the machine" and not jump so quickly to "story of my childhood."
Afterdinner, blocks of toddler teak woodfell Black N'Keal Harry Jersey , then floated, mistaken for ehold acts boiled over Aunt Max聮sblack pot rim where we succumbedto the likelihood of work. We were allenchanted when the little kettle drippedand wrote proverbs to complete our pactwith amazing accents. Dessert hintswafted past raised cups of homegroundcoffee, whiskey-tinted, underthe blue haze of living room light.
In this second part of the poem, the progression is chronological. After dinner, some french press coffee and dessert. I don't think "household acts" and "dessert hints" would be in flash fiction. They are too mysterious. Interestingly, the references to fables and fiction continue Black Stephon Gilmore Jersey , in "enchanted," "writing," "proverbs," "pact, " and "accents." The line break after "dripped" makes it unclear whether the kettle (presumably whistling) is writing or that "we" who are enchanted are writing. But overall, a little story of a poem, which is recognisably a poem Black Julian Edelman Jersey , not fiction.
In the next-previous prose poem, "Land into Sea," the jumps are between sentences -- I don't see each sentence doing as much heavy lifting as in a poem, and I see bigger jumps between the sentences. I also see bigger jumps -- associative ones -- than in fabulistic flash fiction. It has the logic of some poems where the themes are established, play together a while, and then reach a conclusion. We start with a relatively concrete example, a fabulistic but also realistic fear:
On the car-hugging road Jordan Richards Jersey , I am shocked that one day I fallasleep and the stray dog could die.
Not the road is hugging the car, not the car the road (as car commercials would have -- did you know most city car commercials are filmed in downtown LA?). In any case, car, road, sleep, dog, death. Very clean and neat. Then Malcom Brown Jersey , out of the shrubbery at the side of the road -- a crowd.
These orders of truth awaken self defense, so urge the crowd, 聯Betray yourselves.?Every fugitive deserves retreat at depths the bathysphere can聮t reach.
Who is the fugitive? The narrator? The dog. The dog and the narrator. The narrator is more likely to fall asleep and die than fall asleep and kill a dog. I.e., life is fugitive. So you see, by figuring out the difference between the first sentnce and the second sentence, you've got poetry, because flash fiction tends to spell this sort of stuff out Joe Thuney Jersey , not point all sorts of different directions. But, note, this is sentences which are addressing different people and having different characters, not necessarily "torque-ing" as I understand it.
Since lame-o short reviews usually mention the title, I'll say -- I like this title and the way is points to the flash fiction in poetry theme. For what is an alibi, but a very specific sort of potentially verifiable narrative. And what is an antidote to that, but the fabulistic.

After the online exposure of the reverse gold buckle Air Jordan 12 color matching real thing Deatrich Wise Jr. Jersey , recently there is a pair of reverse color distribution to sell the news. According to the news, Jordan Brand plans to release a pair of Air Jordan 13 Panda color in 2020. It is said that this special flip version is to flip the color matching area based on the panda color matching, but it is not the return of Air Jordan 13 "playoffs" color matching.
