Our Rarer Monsters

By Noel Sloboda

Poetry. In Noel Sloboda's second book of poems, he delves beneath the surface of suburban life, weaving together ancient myths, childhood nightmares, and historical reveries. OUR RARER MONSTERS explores intersections between real and imagined geographies: a residential block where Grendel lives next door and Prospero is parked out in the street. These poems and the accompanying linocuts by Marc Snyder plumb the depths of memory to unearth roots that bind us to the literary, cultural, and mythological traditions of yesterday as we hurtle irresistibly through the twenty-first century."Noel Sloboda's OUR RARER MONSTERS is an imaginative book full of wonder and charm." Jeannine Hall Gailey"I kept coming back to Sloboda's poems and to Marc Snyder's exquisite linocuts included in this utterly winning book. Here is a poetry collection not to be missed for its audacity and verve." Kristin Ong Muslim"
