Reseña del libro "Meet Me Where We Survive (en Inglés)"
"Scott Silsbe is one of my favorite working poets. The bulk of his poems are born of personal and intimate moments, yet Silsbe's precise and conversational language invites us in, makes us feel welcome, and the joys and sorrows found here become our own. Each piece quietly shines with a love for literature, music, friendship, for life itself. Reading Scott's poems feels like having him tell you stories over numerous beers throughout the wee hours. Stories sad, funny, and engagingly human; stories you'll remember in the morning." -William Taylor Jr., author of Pretty Things to Say"I've been sitting here for a while trying to write about Scott Silsbe's new book, Meet Me Where We Survive. I try phrases like 'fiercely human' and 'ripe with intimate treasures, ' but realize that's not close to getting to it, and everything I try sounds trite and lazy. So here's the truth about this dazzling book: it made me want to write. Four poems came from my reading this. Blame Scott for that if you like, but do not ignore this book. It's fabulous, and really is fiercely human and ripe with intimate treasures, as you'll soon see for yourself." -Jeff Weddle, author of Advice for Cannibals"Scott Silsbe is a master at creating interesting and thought-provoking poems out of events that have occurred in his life. His friends and acquaintances become your friends and acquaintances through his poems. He has the innate ability to make a reader understand and feel like they were there for the discussion, the reading, the party, the rock show, the whatever was going on. This collection, Meet Me Where We Survive, is a treasure chest of these experiences-it is a pirate's booty. -Joseph Shields, Nerve Cowboy Magazine
