Aptly known as "the anti-literary literary magazine" (read anti-New Yorker), Exquisite Corpse, edited by prolific writer and translator Codrescu, has been delighting and outraging readers since 1988 with its often clever irreverence toward (and sometimes direct assault upon) anything that resembles "the Establishment" (which includes political correctness, institutionalized MFA programs and any kind of aesthetic conformity). Assembled in this hefty second volume are more than 100 of the best selections from the journal's first 10 years of publication (Volume 1, with poetry and essays, was published in 1999). While the voices and works represented here vary to the point of chaos (albeit a pleasant one),. In "Lives of the Poets," we find writings by Pete Seeger, Jan Kerouac Many more from the Underground like William Levy, John Giorno, Ira Cohen,
