Slant Six

Erin Belieu

Erin Belieu's fourth collection, Slant Six, is an inundation of the humor and horror in contemporary American lifeā€”from the last saltine cracked in the sleeve, to the kitty-cat calendar in an office cubicle. With its prophecies of impending destruction, and a simultaneous flood of respect for Americans, Erin Belieu's poems close like Ziploc bags around a human heart.
