The Island of Charles Foster Kane ($15, ISBN: 978-1-937536-45-9, Hardcover ISBN: 978-1-68114-152-7, LCCN: 2013936553, 6X9″, 98pp): If some of the more pleasant productions of our civilization were to be crated up for a long desert island sojourn, one might just as well choose to pack along Oprah Winfrey as Wallace Stevens, or place lyrical tributes to the eccentric reggae artist Dr. Alimantado alongside those to Bob Dylan or Tom Waits. One might wish to include notes on superheroes and celebrities, sound bites, search strings, and assorted tweets and puns. The poetry and experimental fiction in M. V. Montgomery’s new collection The Island of Charles Foster Kane not only cover a wide range of literary possibilities, but offer an entertaining reflection of the world all around us.
