"Swaying flirtatiously between themes of aging, apology,
self-awareness, and sex, poet Marcus McCann's tight, percussive
compositions - which are best read aloud, slowly, and with
someone
listening - are a reminder of why intimacy, along with all its
attendant
disappointments, is still worth striving for."--Quill & Quire's
2017 Books of the Year reviewers' picks"McCann's work is a must for
any lover of poems."--Northumberland Today"Shut Up Slow Down Let Go
Breathe offers wry commentary on the modern world's miniature
nightmares."--Winnipeg Free Press"Marcus'
poetry collects the anxieties built from a combination of
interactions
within the city, between people, and with oneself. We are asked to
slow
our pace a heartbeat and observe those interactions. Document
the
anxieties. Laugh at them a little. Marcus guides us through a
Toronto
where the calm exists within the chaos, and we are only a car wreck
away
from finding it."--Broken Pencil"The poems that make up Shut Up
Slow Down Let Go Breathe are,
one might say, an incredible mouthful: smart and sassy, thoughtful
and
wise, thick with swagger, impulse and a great deal more experience
than
his prior two collections."--rob mclennan-- "rob mclennan"
