Thu, 25 Jan - Absinthe Forum: Green Goddess

Amazingly I have found an unopened bottle of 1950's Green Goddess in my uncle's pantry!!!! I have taken photos for anyone who may be interested?

The history of the absinthe drink is as fascinating as the taste of the emerald green liquor. This promotional poster for Absinthe Bourgeois is from the age of the first absinthe fever.

The Absinthe Drinkers is a Philadelphia band that combines poetry with original rock, jazz and funk - and the results are pretty amazing. If you fancy a bit of funked up Rimbaud, Baudelaire or Shakespeare, check out their site for upcoming shows or download sample tracks.

Absinthe: New European Writing
is a biannual journal that publishes translations of contemporary European writing that -- like absinthe itself -- is not widely available in the United States. Published by a Detroit native Dwayne D. Hayes, the journal contains poetry, prose and essays. Recommended.

Widow Moon by Peggy Amond
Whether or not poetry is the highest form of expression is one topic often debated over a glass of absinthe. Peggy Amond's Widow Moon certainly proves that "real poetry is not a thing of the past," as Bonnie Sutterby of PoetWorks noted. Ms Amond's book (available here) includes her famed tribute to the great "absinthe poet" Arthur Rimbaud.
