Beating Wings Flicker The Moon by: Paul SkyrmSelf Published ChapbookReviewed by: Michael D. Grover
Let me just start off by saying that it is downright criminal that writers like this are struggling and publishing their own work. On the other hand it is a sign of the strong will of the artist, and their dedication to the craft. But this is what it is. Thirty-two pages,all photo-copied, packed full with fifteen poems. Very professionally done. Paul Skyrm is one of the most refreshing, and original voices in underground literature. Morbid at times, hopeful at times, at times spiritual. Always powerful, and brilliant at his choice of language. Of the fifteen poems every one is a hit, there are no misses. My personal favorites are Blake Spoke Of This, Bullet Brain, and after reading Tu Fu & Umeshu I honestly had to put the book down, and just say "Whoa." to myself. Paul as an artists and a writer should be read by many. If you know his stuff, you probably know this. If you don't you need to find out. I happen to know he is practically giving these gems away at a very fair price that would be affordable for even the most modest budget. ContactPaul at http://www.myspace.com/tonightthedeadprayforus and work out the details. You won'tbe disappointed. -MDG
