*2" : $2.50 ; G. J. Sulzbach III, P. O.Box xxxx, Phenix City, AL 36868. This one is not easy to describe. It has art -psychedelic totems, like - and poetry. The poetry is like a prophecy of chaos, or, Id on't know what. Mostly it's like same dark turbulent force sweeping all before it. Now and then a fleeting image can be recognized as if in a flash of lightning before it too gets swallowed in the receding fury. It might be soldiers forming up for war, or a lone wanderer in a desert in Mexico, waves crashing at sea, whatever; it all tends to sink into the indistinguishable vortex. Despite incoherence the book makes its mark artistically- and you should hear it set to music! The tape is apparently not yet released but I've heard it and I tell you,' it is an experience.You sort of feel like you're huddled in some bunker somewhere on a devastated landscape,rumbling thunder and cannons in the distance. Somber vocals and a kind of dirge like piano -one thing this is not meant to be is funny.If anything it conveys a sense of eerie truthfulness, like someone urging you to put aside cheerful delusions and contemplate a more dreadful reality. On the whole this may be George Sulzbach's most serious work to date,whether the world is ready for it or not.
