This
is the first independant Revolt release since a very
different group released Revolt24, quite a long time
ago. The group still contains a few members of the
old crew, however, and their revival pack shows much
promise of things to come. Luke Skywalker opens up
the pack thematically with a wide variation of lit
topics ranging from oppression and longing to sunsets
and relationships. This kind of diversity is the right
way to start off a revival.
The
pack's best poem is "Sara" (dd-sara.txt),
written by Devin Davidson a.k.a. Hiro Protagonist.
The lit reads very smoothly as intended, stays faithful
to its theme, and shows very mature, thoughtful writing.
Also worthy of mention is Luke Skywalker's "revolt"
(ls-revlt.txt) which is almost stifling in its imagery,
definitely the writer's intention.
Overall, this pack doesn't deliver on the "Wow"
factor. There are some great lits, however they are
too few and far between to warrant the deluge of mediocrity
making up the bulk of the pack. Some good diversity
and interesting themes save the day, however, making
it worth checking out.
