Subterranean Pittsburgh poetry by Josh Berkowitz. The key to understanding Josh is he's a shock-jock with language. The poems should be read out loud and prefferably fast for full effect - his writing has the rhythm of his beating heart. Josh opens a man-hole on his psyche and invites you to enter an underwater maze, with plenty of dead-ends but one way out if you can find it and hold your breath that long. The healing power of love should light your path, that of a woman or a least your dog. But each poem is a scene from your life flashing before your eyes. You zip through so many death-rebirth cycles you can't tell whether you're saved or doomed. Kind of like the rest of us. So take the Josh challenge and swim for your life.
