	ELISHA PORAT
		Elisha Porat is an enthralling writer, and the haunting portrayals one finds in his fiction also run throughout his equally excellent poetry.
		Running the gamut from soldiers to deceivers, false messiahs to ghosts, Porat is more than suited to the intricate themes he handles, bringing readers into unseen worlds, allowing them to view life from expanded parameters.
		What sets Elisha apart from so many other writers is his willingness to expose the rawest emotions with a grace and dignity that honors the memories of the people upon whom his characters are based.

		More than a mere science fiction novel, Dune touches upon a variety of themes: ecology, politics, religion, messiahs, prescience, and ultimately at the core is a detailed study on human nature and how humans deal with larger issues, sometimes leading to unavoidable death and destruction.
		I watched David Lynch's "Dune", and must say that it has enough "Lynch-ian-isms" in there to declare it one of his library, but this doesn't seem to be his vision that he's trying to share.
		I will give this movie credit for having one amazing soundtrack from Toto.
