Wicked fun reading

I miss the now-defunct "Exquisite Corpse," the most original and maybe the best American literary magazine of the 1990s. This greatest hits collection from the Corpse is a pleasure to read. Until I discovered the Corpse, I thought American literature had become the moribound property of academics and the Iowa Writers Finishing School. These essays and poems are wicked fun and thought-provoking.By the way, the Exquisite Corpse has now become a cyber-publication.
The wittiest, brightest writing of the last decade.

I generally avoid poetry and literary essays, but a friend passed this along to me--and thank heavens she did. If you despair that dead academic writing and predictable journalistic writing represents the best that's out there, despair no more and buy a copy of this witty & bright anthology. Great fun & deeply thought-provoking.
