Beskrivning

An irreverent and unapologetically Jersey meditation on friendship, family, aging, and gentrification. In The Jersey Slide, veteran poet and proud Hoboken resident Danny Shot revels in the quotidian richness of his experience as a first-generation American and child of German Jewish refugees. Recounting tall tales and inside jokes, local histories, and family sagas, the poems in this collection sidle up to you like the loquacious barfly at your local dive, revealing unexpected drama, pathos, and humor in landscapes and faces you thought you knew. Written with pugnacious language and intimate humor, The Jersey Slide celebrates the unvarnished, working-class beauty of a diverse and scrappy community.

Recensioner i media

Danny Shot’s beautifully vulnerable poetry is a splendid, multi-barreled blues song DuBois called double consciousness. As Shot says we live in “the land of God and Google,” a place where this poet, American and Jewish, in New York and in Jersey, on the page and off the wall, splits his chest in half again and again. There we see him, family members and friends and memories come and gone, his words the autobiography of a man who is not only one of our finest poets, but also a living, breathing record of Punk and Plath, of loss and love.
