Blair Island nutritious-delicious affordable cuisine! If you enjoy organic, vege tarian foods, stop in at Blair Island for breakfast or lunch. The food is excellent, with tofu as its main protein dish. Last week I enjoyed a bowl of the cream of broccoli soup, one of the lunch specials, made real thick with tasty croutons on top and served with a fresh-baked herb roll. A deliciously tasty lunch for $1.90. My companion had a huge tempeh burrito—a full meal for $3.10. Some of the other specials include the tofu hero sandwich ($3.25) and the Buddah burger—a tofu vege table rice patty on a homemade bun with all the toppings ($2.50). There’s a lot to choose from for breakfast—herb, cheese, or spinach omelettes, huevos ran- , cheros, and various tofu and scrambled egg combinations, to name a few. Sunday carries brunch specials such as straw berry waffles ($3.50), conti nental breakfast ($3.00), hot cakes ($1.50), and much more. The coffee (regular and decaf) is delicious, with free refills for both! All the baked goods are made there, and have the unique combination of being whole grain and light. Stop in soon. The service is good and there’s a quiet atmos phere for relaxing. Breakfast is served until 1 pm. Weekday hours are 8 am-3 pm, weekends 9 am-2 pm. Blair Island is located at the corner of Blair and Van Buren, where you turn toward River Road in the White aker Neighborhood. —Elizabeth Lyman We played on the beach of time gathering shells and scooping sand ’til too late the sun went out and we noticed sailors with scabrous faces and grinning maws brandishing rusty swords before the blackening storm. And now we shall have to fight. (Now we shall have to fight) —Arnold Porter SAN DUNG A.

Wallace, with photographs by Julia Yost, chapbook (Silver fish Review K6), S3.00. I see familiar things in a strange place, typewriters and those cats, the same pink noses. And I sat down on a moonstruck road for rest. This stanza opening local poet D.M. Wallace’s A Poem for Myself accurately introduces potential readers of this nicely produced little book, full of familiar things in strange places, to the book’s fascinating contents. The poems, complemented by photographs, are certainly born of a moonstruck sensibility: taut, semi-surreal word houses built with cats (the title poem, about a child’s sensual admira tion for her cat, is only one example), sensuality, mystical orgasm (Light), ambivalent pictures from “the eyes of girlhood,/gone.” There’s sadness here too: I must flow, river, see you and go down to the sea. Above my hips and breasts you tower and still, the heart flies higher. You wash me down to sand and follow, sorrow, follow me river and laugh. This stanza from Train is so melodious and rhythmically subtle that I can almost guarantee the reader who reads it aloud a physical emotional tingling. Now “it is all gone/the neatness of knowing something” (Facing the first grave). A delicate but persistent tone of disorientation recurs through many of the poems, keeping Wallace’s imagination just off balance enough to itself persist in many-sided linguistic exploration. Loss and uncertainty too are part of this poet’s intricate undulations; “The mind is unfair to memory,” she says. The last of the girl poems (Naked fjirls) concludes: We watch each other, naked girls setting the last stones of elegance in the soil. Already our winter breath is breaking, the foyer opens, darker and darker dirt and sky, Our audience is a breeze. —Alfred Gross Labyrinth By Taylor Branch and Eugene M. Propper, Viking Press, 1982; Penguin Books, 1983, 623 pages, S6.95. iBook courtesy of Marketplace Books, Fifth Street Market, Eugene.) On September 21, 1976, Orlando Letelier, former Chilean Ambas sador to the United States, and Ronni Moffitt, an associate of his, were brutally murdered in the middle of Washington D.C. by a ter rorist bomb. Labyrinth is the aptly titled story of the subsequent investigation that followed a trail of clues and informants across three continents and through a web of red tape generated by multiple bureaucracies, both at home and abroad. Eugene Propper, an, Assistant U.S. Attorney at the time, was the prosecutor for the case. Propper and Taylor combined to present a highly readable history of a confusing set of facts. They managed to present the story in a logical manner with a minimum of political com ment. The end result is a spellbinding story of international terrorism that reads like fiction. 1 —Kenneth N.
