I'm feeling very grateful toward managing editor John Amen for publishing my review of Lee Rossi's fifth collection, Say Anything, in the latest Pedestal Magazine.
I found that the more I read, and re-read Rossi's book, the more I appreciated his talent and intellect, and his wry sense of humor. The same deepening appreciation happened when I dove deeply into the last two books I reviewed. Trying to do a publication and a poet justice is not a simple task, and knowing that Rossi himself is an expert and experienced reviewer niggled at the back of my mind the whole time I was working on how to communicate the qualities, and something of the content, of Say Anything. I hope that if nothing else, it draws some readers to his work.
