[New-Poetry] Martha Silano

[David Graham]

Allow me to recommend the newest book on my bookshelf, Martha  
Silano's *Blue Positive*,  newly out from Steel Toe Books.  Steel Toe  
started up in 2003, and has just recently appeared on my radar.  From  
what I've seen, it seems  to be doing very good things.

Silano's work has grabbed my attention in various anthologies and web  
sites recently--a really quirky, energetic, word-drunk sort of poet.   
Her subjects are often domestic, but her style is, to steal Alice  
Fulton's term, maximalist.

A healthy sampling of her poems are available on her web site:
