ESR AUTHORS ON PARADE: Two ESR authors have new books out! Steve Farrell, longtime contributor, has just released a novel entitled Dark Rose. You can order it here.

Occasional contributor Robert Bove, who contributed the fantastic September 11 cycle of poems called "Compass" to ESR back in March, has just released a book of poetry entitled The UFOs of October. You can find it here.

"Poet and writer Robert Bové has just published The UFOs of October (2003: iUniverse, Inc., Lincoln, NE), an often picaresque account of, among many, his adventures chasing UFOs in Central America for the National Enquirer and caretaking 60 head of cattle in West Virginia. Told with humor and pathos, the five poem cycles comprising UFOs each employ autobiography and fiction, prose and drama, and are related by psyche, style, tone—and narrative speed.

"His readers describe Bové as having 'a wicked wit' (critic/author David Castronovo) and the 'gift of narrative' (poet Allen Ginsberg). And, in a letter to the author, William F. Buckley, Jr. said of Bové’s work, 'It is a great pleasure to read poetry and prose that use language carefully.' The UFOs of October—by turns roguish and righteous—brings all these qualities to bear."
