Reactions and Reviews
Strong series of private journal entries and letters exchanged between Vincent and Catherine, often in reaction to some episode. There are also a few poems. Vincent's letters are very much in the style of those given on the "Vincent Letterline" on the phone here in the states; these loving but not sticky-sweet musings and exchanges read well in comparison to those scripted by Ron Koslow.A sample, from Vincent's journal, approximating the calligraphic-style type of many entries: "It is late at night and above me the city sleeps, but I cannot. A thousand thoughts chase fiercely through my brain and steal all peace from within. And why? Because of a kiss, a simple soft press of Catherine's lips to mine; and I am beset by 'maybe's' and 'what if's.' It was so gentle, so sweet and it has turned my life upside down."
"I have never felt a kiss like that. Oh, I have been kissed. Mary kisses me, motherly kisses — forgetting my age. Father kisses me still at times, and I have had many sweet kisses from the children. The last kiss I felt which created such a storm in my soul was from Lisa. It was so long ago I have almost forgotten the feel of her lips, but I have not forgotten the aftermath....."
If you find this sample absorbing, you'll agree with the reviewer that this zine has good, atmospheric reading throughout. Handsome artwork by Kathy Fidge. [1]
