Sunday Morning by Michael Salinger 51 pgs. $8.00 ppd Published by Burning Press If you think current American literature is little more than soulless piles of dead trees, read this collection from Michael Salinger and Recinsider. Witty, irreverent, provocative, Salinger punctuates the last sentence of the 20th century with his - and only his - unique exclamations point. Clearly the victim of too many mindless sitcoms and unchecked chemical ingestion, Salinger's vision demonstrates just how dngerous the American ego combined with an impressive vocabulary can be. Ron Kolb, editor Sapphire Magazine

Neon by Michael Salinger 80 pgs. ISBN 0-933087-72-1 $12.00 ppd Published by Bottom Dog Press What happens when a punk grows up? Because that's what happens to Michael Salinger in Neon. What once was a welder's glare efficiently tucked into a Toolbelt of Cynicism has become Neon Has become Art, has become The Thing Illuminated. Of course Salinger is still a punk, too...Only now the work sets out a philosophy. Now he's given you something to hold, to relish, not fear. There's even prose here, sweet and sudden and folksy and smart and full of feeling. He invites you in, not kicks you out. To accomplish this all Salinger has to do was reinvent himself. Neon accomplishes this task. A poet, it seems might just be a punk grown up, and Neon makes a stunning debut. Bob Holman, creator of the PBS documentary, The United States of Poetry
