Reviews
"Dale Winslow's "Tinderbox "shows a sure, mature touch with words,
and styles. Many of the poems herein blend symbolist style with
contemporary rap: a rap without the theatrical ranting and bling.
And from time to time one can hear or glimpse in the background an
e e cummings, a John Skelton. Entertaining and
thought-provoking."
Eric McLuhan, author of "Electric Language, The Role of Thunder in
Finnegans Wake," and co-author with Marshall McLuhan of "Laws of
Media, " and "Media and Formal Cause."
"Dale Winslow's "Tinderbox" will ignite" you." Her sensuous poems
explode in an orgiastic word feast which communicates a waking
dream convergence between women, nature, and truth. Winslow's words
hook you; you "reel them in real in them until you say "O."" She
conjures many varieties of ""O"" and "Oh" which encircle you within
poetic sheer delight. Really "
Marleen S. Barr, author of "Genre Fission, Lost in Space, Feminist
Fabulation," and the novel, "Oy Pioneer "
"These poems track truth as though it were some constantly morphing
mythical creature leaping from one disguise to another until it is
caught and stilled in its final form-wisdom. They are euphonious,
sensual, full of surprises and highly engaging. They present the
reader with ample opportunities to "commit pleasure crimes against
the dying world.""
Robert Priest, poet, novelist, playwright, songwriter, performer
"A late evening's snifter of words - surprisingly ancient and very
modern at the same time, personal and cosmic, even the typography
dances - that gets to the deepest centers of your brain. Winslow is
a welcome, major talent."
Paul Levinson, author of "The Plot to Save Socrates" and
"Unburning Alexandria"
"No container of flammable miniatures but rather a smoldering
verbal inferno, blazing with the heat & light of Dale Winslow's
unflinching yet passionate gaze on all things great and small,
"Tinderbox" addresses the most profound preoccupations of
consciousness: love & loss, the natural & unnatural worlds
("broken temples of man"), &, most exquisitely perhaps, death
("the endangered void"). It should be no surprise, then, that to
enter the world of "Tinderbox" is to enter the world itself in all
of its felt drama -- illuminated, lamented, & celebrated by the
voice of this "white noise Orpheus," a voice both incendiary &
generative, "curling/coiling/as a snake/on fire.""
Susan Lewis, poet and editor
