Publisher's Synopsis
Mixing a satirical nod toward modern times with a number of traditional poetic forms, Bill Cushing's new chapbook, . . .this just in. . . from Cyberwit, is accompanied by color plates of the works that inspired a number of those pieces. Cuban-American poet Andres Rojas says these "poems are the poetry of witness [that] challenge the facile acceptance of myth and history as givens" while Cultural Daily poetry editor Alexis Rhone Fancher observes that these "audacious poems explore the complex nature of life and death in the 21st century." As a former journalism student, Bill models the content within these pages on a traditional newspaper, and British reviewer David Green summarizes that "the theme that draws the collection together is [Bill's] concern for humanity which arrives at an appropriate time."
