Reviews

A couple of years ago--would it have been 1995 or ‘96?--carelessly flipping through The Best American Poetry, 1995 I was stopped dead in my tracks by a truly wondrous poem: "The Printer’s Error" by Aaron Fogel. It was deceptively simple, direct, moving and thoroughly astounding, full of political, religious and cultural truth. Who was this Aaron Fogel?
