Nothing ubiquitous here. Classic feel without the stricture, nothing intimidates. Robinson's essay was plain illuminating. Delicate mix of genres in the writing, pleasant visuals that do not detract from theme. Has the feeling of visiting an Elizabethan library on a wet London Monday.

Very Well Done!

This is an exciting debut. There is a certain classical flavor here, combined with cutting-edge sensibility. Pairing a single poet with a single visual artist - when both are excellent - and doing it so well, creates a powerful message.

Congratulations Alex Pepple on your premiere issue. It's gorgoeus. Keep up the good work. It's nice to see somebody from the Bay Area making a splash on the e-zine scene. Break a leg as they say in the theatre.

Hope you'll be as successful as Wendy Lesser of Threepenny Review. She worked hard to create her literary journal but she still calls herself an "Amateur" (her recent book).

Good luck again...

Dear Alex,

I'm amazed by your stylish & gorgeous site. I believe it must take you a plenty of time and effort. Thank you for contributing ablemuse to the world.

It is too bad that I was not able to hear the poet read. I think the problem is from my computer; I will work on that later.

Looking forward reading your ablemuse 2000

I am an education student at the University of Richmond creating an educational Web lesson called a WebQuest for a college class.

I would be happy to include a reference to your page in the credits section of my lesson. Please respond soon since the project will be due next week. Thank you. Sean Drummond

I enjoyed Beth Houston's ode to Nike of Samothrace. Such timeless musings of the moment that was envisioned in the creation of the statue. But I think I know what /really/ happened. Here's my take on it. Alighting on some warship's prow, she brings Their lunch, to slake the sailor's crave, her arms Laden with bags of food, flame broiled from Burger King Vision of marble, grace, smoothest charms Yet wings and staccato poise, paper bags Stuffed full beneath her breast, she declares Horrid are those Sirens, they are such nags Shrill cries, for french fries delivered from air!? Argonauts still, Odysseus and his fleece As rower and his burger and his malt This is Lo-Cal, these Whoppers have no Greece To rid you of flabby tums, no insult She says to sailors who now see that she's Alighted before the ship's catapult

I really enjoyed the ode to Nike of Samothrace presented here, so graphically envisioning the moment that the sculpturers hoped to capture when they made the statue.
