Review Quotes
Michael Dickman, author of Days & Days
"In his uncompromisingly intelligent and humane book of poems Elegiac, Charles Seluzicki has delivered a late-breaking heartfelt and startlingly beautiful book of poems that seeks to remember and celebrate the lives of dear ones lost to him. These poems are open and electric. They strike sparks."
Paul Merchant, author of Some Business of Affinity
"In these days of grandstanding and outright mendacity, we stand in need of clear and honest voices. Seluzicki's Elegiac sequence, opening with three quiet poems of welcome to Thanatos, celebrates a constellation of lost friends, still engaged in conversation. The exchanges are intimate, convincing, and evoked in surprising details: the 'Wind-fallen fruit sweetening / the air,' the 'graver poised on endgrain,' the 'dust in a poor man's purse.' Undaunted by death, these friendships continue defiantly, full of life and light."
