Last One Out
Deborah Richards. Subpress, $12 (93pp) ISBN 978-1-930068-21-6
From the Quarked-out textual imaginings of ""The Beauty Projection"" (where the so-called Hottentot Venus's history and legacy gain voice) and ""C'est L'Amour: That's Love"" (ditto the cinematic Carmen Jones), to the Tarzan-based deconstructions of Last One Out's title poem, Deborah Richards, from Philadelphia by way of London, creates immediate, can't-look-away present-tense synchronic slices of colonialism's multiply dimensioned ""interventions.""
