Love for Halloweens past (it’s never too late), courtesy of the ever most awesome Beach Sloth. Both “13” and its sequel, “TH1RT3EN: REAN1MAT3D” (artistically declined press), are covered in the way only Beachy can.

Beach Sloth rocks the hardest lit reviews. Ever. Here’s what Beachy had to say about IN THOSE DAYS WE, which I am particularly thrilled to be a part of.
“David Tomaloff crushes it into a complete and thorough ending. He follows a dragonfly. Death surrounds him.” –Beach Sloth on my piece in the NAP LOG anthology. I think.
HTML Giant published a piece I wrote about Kristina Marie Darling’s Gold Wake Press book, THE BODY IS A LITTLE GILDED CAGE. Holler at it a minute, won’t you?
“Ryan W. Bradley and David Tomaloff’s You Are Jaguar, the first title from Artistically Declined Press’s Twin Antlers imprint, is such a work, a disarming, intensely self-aware tangle of dueling verse that is not only a testament to the convergence of two distinct, exceptionally talented poetic voices, but also to the process itself, a primal hymn where the need for inclusion is extolled as the greatest of virtues. Truly sanguineous indeed.” —From Chris Vola’s review of YOU ARE JAGUAR at Outside Writers

GET: YOU ARE JAGUAR
“You Are Jaguar is two hands shaking in the woods, two voices wandering in our heads stretching the territory we didn’t know we spanned…” —Meg Tuite, in a fantastic piece about YOU ARE JAGUAR for the Lit Pub.
I reviewed J. A. Tyler’s VARIATIONS OF A BROTHER WAR over at the Fiddleback (scroll down a bit). If you haven’t yet read this book, I encourage you to hit up Smalldoggies Press and change all of that.
YOU ARE JAGUAR, my collaborative poetry collection written with Ryan W. Bradley, was recently reviewed by Tnbbc. The words “This is the way poetry should be” were used. Humbled, I am. Humbled, indeed.

Specter has published my review of Robert Kloss’s Nephew title, HOW THE DAYS OF LOVE & DIPHTHERIA.
“…a dense canvas of a particularly dark and intense kind. Its pages are rife with death and disease; with flesh and with fire; with ghosts and distrust; with the weight of destruction, longing, suffering, and absolute love in the face of all of this, coexistent on every page.”

Did you enjoy Mathias Svalina’s Mud Luscious title, I AM A VERY PRODUCTIVE ENTREPRENEUR, as much as I did? Read my review of it on the Specter Blog and let’s compare notes! My thanks to the Specter staff!

In his most recent blog post, Ben Tanzer says kind things about my latest NAP chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF. Also featured is a chapbook by Greg Santos that I have not yet read, but I will be sure to remedy that situation in the near future. I suggest you join me. Thanks, Ben, for both the kindness and the recommendation!
Chris Vola flash-reviewed A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF for the Deadly Chaps Press Facebook page and had the following to say:
“David Tomaloff’s A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF is an elegy to a place where the heart’s foibles are lain to tremor, dream-sore: “that things should not escape/doesn’t always mean they don’t”. Prickly-smooth verses skirt the he-said-she wreckage of rebel gardens and cheating mimes, any talisman to pluck at the wane of domestic blear and the wax of sublime synaptic gappery. Love-as-pipe-bomb, nice touch.”
My gratitude to Mr. Vola and to Deadly Chaps head assassin, Joseph Quintela!
Shawn Misener has posted his review of my NAP chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF, at the excellent Clutching at Straws website. Thanks, Shawn!
