- The Diogenes Robot, by Mark Rich, illustration by Avijit Das
(4/4/05)
- Fiction.
- I had fallen into a controlling mindset, the numbers said. Manipulative. Maybe I even lied, when I spoke to her. Maybe? The Truth Machine said I had, and that was that.
- Discontent, Illusion, and Murder: Jeff VanderMeer's City of Saints and Madmen, by Mark Rich
(9/6/04)
- Review.
- Not a novel, but rather a thematic collection, it contains works of short fiction . . . linked by their all having something to do with an imaginary place named Ambergris, an exotic city full of odd dwellings and odder dwellers.
- Conversations in Miniature: the Genre Poetry of Ian Watson and Michael A. Arnzen, by Mark Rich
(8/4/03)
- Review.
- A genre is a literary tradition in which certain designs and decorations have become characteristic, either as essential parts or as gratuitous additions. Within the horror genre, once a poem is positioned, it does not matter that a sickening feeling, for instance, is not evoked. It matters that it is invoked.
- Sensing the Real in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, 15th annual collection, ed. Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling, by Mark Rich
(10/7/02)
- Review.
- The editors have succeeded without question in conveying the breadth and vitality of an important corner of the contemporary writing scene. As to how well they have culled their respective fields . . . very likely they themselves are the only ones to know. Who else has been reading as widely and deeply?
- To Sleep, by Mark Rich
(4/1/02)
- Poetry.
- people falling in twos, threes / by the office-load / by the building-full / to sleep
- The Idea of the Real: Notes on the History of Speculative Poetry, by Mark Rich
(1/7/02)
- Editorial.
- in the speculative poem, the poet presents an unreal world as though presenting the real one. This may seem an easy piece of nonsense. It was, however, an extremely hard kind of nonsense to achieve. A poet could not truly do this until society, or at least an important part of society, was capable of perceiving the real world for what it was.
