jeltje Reviews The Moosehead Anthology X
For the 2005 (and tenth) issue of the Canadian Moosehead Anthology guest editor Todd Swift has added an X ('the X-Files aspect') to the publication's title. Although retrofitted with fifties B-grade movie genre characteristics and preoccupations, it claims to deal with 'exceptionally pressing contemporary issues, images and invasions'; and the editor muses on the possibilities of a new 'B-grade' genre of poetry and prose which, like the fifties sci-fi and horror movies, would manage to break through the surface 'to speak of the hopes and fears of the time'.

Note to the Editor
This poem is from a much briefer series on the life of the man who invented dirigibles whose name is French, or Hungarian I think. Dietrich Katona? Please capitalize all the second and eighth letters in this section. Note that …
