A new review devoted exclusively to poetry, Malpaís, Spanish for badlands, has just appeared at Placitas, New Mexico. It can be obtained from its editor, Gary Brower, P.O. Box 339, Placitas, NM 87043.

The inaugural issue includes, among many poems, these verses from Keneth P. Gurney´s "Before Going Home:"

There is a circle of ash trees

where you go to lighgt fires,

sing songs that call spirits,

elementals, more crows

than I can count.
