A newsletter of book reviews by jimmy cooper, The Furious Beautiful is really much more than that. Yes, there are books reviews (of The Unseen by Nanni Balestrini, Nightwood by Djuna Barnes, Vagabond by Isabelle Eberhardt, and Black Sunlight by Dambudzo Marechera), but there are also personals (“me: curvydork karaoke god”), poetry (“A Poem by My Friend Corie”), and a list of local events (“Happenings”). And there are illustrations (clip art) throughout, making this four-page newsletter something quite visual to behold. At the bottom of the fourth page, cooper puts a call out for contributor content (“You can submit poems (less than one page), personals (a short paragraph), happenings, etc. to [email protected]”), so The Furious Beautiful: Review of Books could potentially grow into something more robust. Keep an eye on this newsletter! –Gina Murrell (jimmy cooper, furiousbeautiful.bandcamp.com)
