The Cabal in Chains and The No-World Order

"The Cabal in Chains" is an outrageous blank verse narrative that blends political satire, fractured history, social commentary and edgy wordplay to open a window to another version of our collective reality. Nina Bellskinner's graphics add morphing movement to the tale, so the wild ride/read leaves you with an art book for the coffee table. Like a lot of Paul Colby's mixed-motif offerings, this volume isn't easy to pigeonhole--it aims to make you laugh, and think, and get down.
