“SLIP will grip you and not let go. Callihan does what we can only hope the most ambitious poetry might do: answer back to the ineffable, while simultaneously revealing a life lived to the hilt. Sly, often effervescent, SLIP offers both brutality and tenderness. I love this stingingly beautiful book.” —Lee Upton, author of The Day Every Day Is
“Nicole Callihan’s latest treasure, griefbeing, is an astonishing offering to the world. Each poem explores grief in its countless incarnations. Grief is rarely loud and wordy and neither are these poems. The pace of grief varies. These poems unfold slowly, unrushed, allowing the words and spaces on each page to connect with our own emptiness. These are literary gifts from a master. You will read and re-read each one. You will take them into your heart.” — Le Hinton, editor of Iris G. Press/I. Giraffe Press
