So Rise by John Goodby Julia Copus The presence of MayakovskySo, Rise is an ethical enquiry into a teeming world regained by a survivor. The vision won arrives without a word wasted, each salty syllable the world works for is charged with a meaning that only poetry can reach.Kelvin CorcoranSo, with these poems, we also rise and Goodby does this as if language were his new invention. Juggling, balancing, nosing it all out in an all embracing rush. Forget emotion, this is the triumph of system.Peter Finch Red
