Description:In his third book of poems, Mark Halliday grapples with the endless struggle between self-concern and awareness of the rights of others. Through humor, ironic twists, and refreshing candor, these poems confront a variety of situationsOCodeath, divorce, artistic egotism and envy, personal relationshipsOCowhere the very idea of "self" is under siege. If "Selfwolf" were a pop music CD, it would be hailed as Mark Halliday's breakthrough album. . . . This third collection of poems teems with unsparing confessions of misdirected lust, lost faith, regret and a winningly goofy cheerfulness in the face of all that bad stuff. . . . The informal, conversational quality of Halliday's work almost hides its artfulness, which seems to be precisely his intention.OCoKen Tucker, "New York Times Book Review" With unflinching, often comic honesty about how 'ego-fetid, hostile, grasping' we are, Halliday exposes the self's wolfish hungers and weaknesses.OCoAndrew Epstein, "Boston Review" Mark Halliday's new book offers more of his trademark riffs on self-consciousness. His subversive, surprising, hugely enjoyable poems will make you laugh out loud, squirm in uncomfortable recognition, and appreciate anew the comedy of our daily battles for self-preservation. . . reading Halliday is pure delight. . . . I love the daring and intelligence with which Halliday skates along the shifting boundary between self within and world outside. "Selfwolf" slows down our habitual negotiations between 'in here' and 'out there, ' exposing the edgy comedy of how we survive.OCoDamaris Moore, "Express Books""We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
