RAVE
by Alan Davies
Rave collects three erotic works of poetry and fiction by Alan Davies: Split Thighs is the long and legendary poem published in 1975 in a limited xerox edition that circulated underground. Written mostly in a jazz club in Boston's Combat Zone, its fervid short lines force jazz back into the voice. Vitalsis a short novel, porn reduced to its essentials. Isherwood Novel, a short story with a stylistic nod to the author with whom the title flirts, breathes life into the harbor of any city.
