Poetry. "AFTER SCHOOL SESSION is a generous and brassy cull of correspondence from Brett Evans to Brock Downs. The poems are a direct jack into the miniamp of postcard art sent between two friends; they hit hard in an open-all-night punk rock show for the audience of one. Like the form of Kerouac's Mexico City Blues, limited by the small size of a breastpocket notebook, Evans's gumbo is cooked in the scant pot of the postcard—an 'afterschool rest stop of the imagination / real special.' The poems offer one slamming and damming notation after another. Down's artful arrangement and selection should stand as a model for what one can do with our hazardous mail."—Tom Devaney
