Reactions and Reviews

A sequel to Circle of Light, this pleasant souffle of a zine is set in fourth season. Most of the fiction is by Lucy Green; two stories are by Linda Mooney; Roxanne Shearer Koogler leads off with "Vows and Promises," recounting Joe's determination to find out what happened to C's child, obstructed by Diana. Mooney's "Uh-Oh" is a two-part vignette about the troubles set off by Jacob's teething. Green's brief "Ring in the New" tells of quietly bedded lovers V/D's reflections on her first New Year Below. Mooney's vignette "Petals" shows that colors have a special meaning to Jacob...and to D/V. Green's "Compromising Positions" reintroduces tunnel librarian Lizzie Borden, the custodian of (among other things) books on eroticaÞspecifically, the graphically illustrated Kama Sutra, which D/V find fascinating and Father is reluctant to acknowledge. Lizzie is also instrumental, in Green's "Certainty Enough," in empath/telepath D deals with the decidedly mixed emotions with which some other tunnel residents regard her.

Green's "All Hallow's Eve" recounts that memorable holiday as celebrated Below, complete with messy pumpkin cutting as performed by D, with an amused V looking on, and a surprise birthday party that has an even more surprising conclusion. Green's "Blessed Among Women" concludes the zine with D/V becoming parents.

Overall, insightful and quite a lot of fun, carried off with a light hand and a deft touch.[1]
