This month for Poetry 365 we’re highlighting Erin Belieu’s savvy new volume Slant Six. Crisp and conversational, this fourth collection from the LA Times Book Prize finalist explores “politics, pop culture, and parenthood” while reflecting on “our collective moments of hypocrisy and hope” in contemporary America. Favorably compared to the work of Frank O’Hara and Tony Hoagland, these 23 smart, satirical poems show why the NY Times praises Belieu as “a comedian of the human spirit.” So check out this fantastic new volume, sample a poem below, and make sure to stop back next month for Poetry 365.
