"Dan Meltz’s poems are so intimate it almost feels like prying to read them. They’re so funny and bold and moving though, that you can’t help yourself."

-David Sedaris, New York Times bestselling author

"Meltz’s ’It Wasn’t Easy to Reach You’ reached me easily with its original cast of thought about the everyday goofs and terrors of our lives and our relationships. He is approachable and surprisingly accomplished and he wields a sure grasp of what counts even when we’re not certain exactly what it is. Daniel Meltz, poet, arrives in print like Athena, fully formed. And yes, his ’words got all over my shirt and pants.’"

-Felice Picano, Lambda Foundation Pioneer Award winning author of The Lure and Like People in History

"Daniel Meltz sees with ’new eyes.’ And few poets see so clearly the colors in the visible-and the invisible-spectrum of love, the pleasures and the pangs, the clarity and mystery. And few poets convey these colors in language more fresh. Here, under the covers, is a fluid taxonomy of love in a language with no expiration date. Follow the lines of these poems, their ’fallopian squiggles,’ listen to the music of these poems, their ’intrinsic marimbas,’ and you will be dazzled by the colors refracted in the prism of their words. Actual feeling is everywhere in these poems, feeling transcribed with unmatched passion and a fleet, witty, conversational-and dazzling-eloquence."

-Stephen Ackerman, author of Late Life, winner of the 2020 Gerard Cable Book Award

"Daniel Meltz’s beautiful first book, ’It Wasn’t Easy to Reach You,’ is an absolute thrill to read. While the title seems on one level to be a joke about the book’s long-awaitedness, it also slyly gestures toward the collection’s underlying theme of human connection and the obstacles that need to be overcome to achieve it-like the ’booby-trapped frog pond’ on the way to love, or the self’s ’stubborn grandiosity peeping out of its/ shameful hiding.’ Meltz’s voice, both playful and urgent, draws us in, and the poems have a liveliness and immediacy that somehow make them feel personal not only to the speaker but to each of us. Reading them is like finding a message in a bottle that traveled far in time and space but whose book-length note turns out to be addressed directly to you in the here and now. Believe me, you’ll be glad it reached you."

-Jeffrey Harrison, Guggenheim winner and author of The Names of Things: New & Selected Poems

"I swear you’ve been waiting for this book, waiting for a poet with Daniel Meltz’s earnest exuberance, his witty and spiced intelligence, for those sly observations that make you say, YES!, for his word play and foreplay, his rhymes straight and slant, and for the honest emergencies and hard-earned serenities they record. Not just Frank O’Hara and Kenneth Koch and not just a bone-deep intimacy with life’s most essential mysteries, these poems cohere as if the energetic delight of the art itself floated around everything. You’ll wish he was your best friend, and the good news is, these poems will accompany you-and elevate your own thinking-as if he were. Daniel Meltz has worked wonders to reach us, and now we’re his forever."

-Jessica Greenbaum, author of Spilled and Gone and The Two Yvonnes

"These intelligent, clever, beyond the surface poems by Daniel Meltz will make you blush, laugh and nod your head in agreement. Like a modern-day Frank O’Hara ... Meltz is a poet of urban wonderings and urbane wit."

-Tina Schumann. Author of Praising the Paradox and Requiem. A Patrimony of Fugues

Derecho al desistimiento

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
