"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

Descripción de la tienda

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
