"The many moods of THE SLIP, from fabulous to funny to frenetic,
announce the arrival of a promising new voice that can express,
with consummate sensitivity and verve, the sorrows and celebrations
of our complicated queerness. When Michael Montlack writes, he can
make us sing or break our hearts. Each poem is a veritable 'kiss of
the artist'--passionate and memorable."--Rigoberto Gonzalez, author
of OTHER FUGITIVES AND OTHER STRANGERS. "With pitch-perfect pacing
and an intimate colloquial voice, THE SLIP reads as engagingly
novelistic even as these memoiristic vignettes are untamed by wit
and scathing humor. Ouch. The poems are at once revealing yet
winningly imaginative as they reignite myth--there's even a
bisexual Orpheus here who helps Montlack to rewrite the past while
instructing, bruising, and exposing suburbia's lingering
melancholy."--Peter Covino, author of CUT OFF THE EARS OF WINTER,
winner of PEN/America Osterweil Prize. "Michael Montlack's THE SLIP
situates us in the middle of a life, threading together joys and
sorrows. Some of the comic moments will truly make you laugh out
loud. And at times, you'll get horribly wistful. Such is the
richness of this collection."--D. A. Powell, author of CHRONIC.
