<p>Poetry. "Nate Slawson's debut collection, PANIC ATTACK, USA, is a brass-knuckled love letter to a lost world. Meet the Cerberus of Slawson's vision: spinal cords &amp; grizzly bears, lost cities &amp; body bags, bloodstains of dreams &amp; birthday parties, yellowjackets &amp; rattlesnakes, vampires &amp; movie theaters, amens &amp; fuck-offs, Heather Locklear &amp; Superchunk, unidentifiable bodies of moonlight, midwestern topography &amp; tommy guns, teeth &amp; knee-caps, belt buckles &amp; wanderlust. And there is more &amp; more in the fine carousel of his brilliant wit &amp; tenderness. Finally, a voice emerges to translate the wildfire of loneliness and memory. Each of these poems is a muscle—reflexive &amp; close to the bone where America waits to be broken &amp; re-cast. I trust Nate Slawson's poems to name lightning."—Rachel Eliza Griffiths<br><br>"Thank the poetry gods that there is someone like Nate Slawson in this otherwise neutered world. Thank the poetry gods that Nate Slawson writes with a hard-on. When I picture in my head what the speakers in these poems look like, this is what I come up with: a man naked on a pogo stick hopping down the street. This is a man, in other words, who lets everything hang out. This is a man who is not afraid or ashamed to tell it like is. Christ if I don't wish there were more people like this, and especially more poets like this."—from the foreword by Peter Markus</p>
