Praise

The poetry journal 6x6 … showcases the work of six poets (none of whom I’ve previously heard of) … I was immediately struck by the subversive, surreal and downright odd prose-pieces by Jon Boisvert, and his pieces in this issue are reminiscent of poems by Canadian poets Stuart Ross and Gary Barwin for their twists and turns in and out of surrealism and strange wisdom.
— Rob McLennan

Excerpt

From 6×6 #30

 

Self-effacement

 

Walk slowly

For the road is far away

One racing in panic will be troubled

Within self-effacement

Bailing out

“Pleasure”

Weaving the boundless dreams of objects at rest!

Like a painter

Living a penniless life

Act up to splendor

 

To the flash of overly animalistic emotions

People are taken ill for.

 

—Hirato Renkichi (translated from the Japanese by Sho Sugita)
