highlander Press will celebrate the release of Chicago Poet Jerome Sala's long awaited 3rd collection, with readings by Jerome, Elaine Equi and other entertainers. Previewing this new book Gerald Nicosia writes: "Sala's minimalist portraits of modern lost souls are as clean and precise as if one had fed Goya into a new-music synthesizer; and his ability to divine the enduring and profound in the ephemerae of daily life is uncanny, canny, and happily corny as a can of Coca-Cola--take your choice."

The world of experimental art is no exception to the mood and greed of the Reagen Era. In 1984, the ideological lethargy among members of the radical music group Bee Cubed created the climate for a dramatic takeover of Henley Enterprises (creators of the blue-collar projection 3-D and techno-folk art). Henley, free from the psychic consequences of popular music, absorbed Bee Cubed without a struggle. A new tax shelter was formed and a corporate entity was born, The Potato Engineers, with Eastern block connections and a high technology background. Recent engineer acquisitions/mergers include Enk and Enkidu. The Potato Engineers will present hostile takeovers in multi-megalomedia performance style throughout the current fiscal year as a part of their "Art of Business" cycle (abstract parallels to Real Life that imply true business relationships between artist-persons living and dead). The engineers are David Ayer, Harry Castle, Phil Pilcher, Joseph Pinzarrone, Eugene X. Rator, Damon Short and Larry Soderquist.

Rather than a poetry reading, Poetry in Motion presents characters themselves who have inspired the poets: an old woman with centuries in her eyes, a Chicago Loop newspaper man/suicide witness, a young mother struggling in the bosom of America's plenty, youth in love with love...With song and dance and spirit tongues Poetry in Motion wraps itself around the joys and pains of this world, seeking a path of understanding graced with love undaunted.<br /><br />[Links Hall "Performance Series" Program Schedule, Fall 1988]
