Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti, the versatile poet – journalist – biographer – photographer – music critic – publishing guru—yes, I could throw in a few more descriptions and hyphens—is the newest senior editor for Cyrano’s Journal. She’ll focus on “poetry, photography and life chronicles” and also sit on the editorial board.

Major congratulations to Sadi, who’ll continue her essays for the TeleBlog, including a forthcoming one on the lack of interest in e-books that some young aspiring publishers have. Enjoy her memories of the late Saul Bellow, who regularly advised a publishing house of hers, if you haven’t read the essay already.

For those who don’t know, the novelist Gore Vidal and linguist-activist Noam Chomsky have been among Cyrano’s contributors and board members. The magazine blends critiques of politic, media and culture; in philosophy it’s a kind of Forbes in reverse (“the anti-capitalist tool”). Among the top posts now on the site is the intriguingly titled Ken Burns and “The War”: “Prostitution Rape” is War’s Big Dirty Secret.

Written up in Wikipedia, Sadi is now completing a biography of Lewis Carroll–which will explain the real reasons for the hallucinations that led to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and other classics so dear to public domain boosters as well as millions of others.

Meanwhile, you can enjoy “In a Foreign Land” (MP3 here)—a mix of Sadi’s poetry and music by David Beaman and Richard Dupuis.
