Editorial Comment Highlights |
| |
One of the most striking
things about the stories and poems that appear
in this edition of the Claremont Review is the
sense one gets of a connection with the powerful
forces of the natural world. There are comets,
freak snowballs and many mentions of the moon
and the sun. |
| |
| In a recent essay about
the creative process called 'Writing on the
Wall, poet 'Jay Ruzesky also refers to this
connection...Ruzesky goes on to say 'We put
as much energy as we can into making the language
be more than language. |
| |
| And if we're lucky and the
moon is full and lightening strikes in the right
place, then the work does begin to breath a little,
to take on a life of its own and become more than
the sum of its parts. |
|
| Given the fine writing that
we have been fortunate enough to receive and to
publish in this our 12th issue, there must have
been more than the average number of lightening
strikes across the continent this year. |
