A REVIEW OF BIG HAMMER #19: "Much of the poetry seems to have an elegaic quality for the passing of the human species, if not the earth as an ongoing, near-future prospect. Simple, declarative lyrics. Many full-page drawings, often fantastic or surreal--some cartoonish--as well as collages and fancy borders for some poems. There are blows against the literary establishment, the modern elites, the ruling class, their greed and heartlessness. Little tales of suffering--of love gone missing or awry. Here's one by Mather schneider: 'I watch a fly land on the counter / sucking on a drop of something sugary / I think of cute Billy Collins / buzzing around his house on espresso // then squash it flat / as the Hudson Review' Ooh. Good one." by Phil Wagner in ICONOCLAST
