More review excerps from the back cover

Review exerpts:
these along with Steve's excerpt below will be on the back cover.

“R Jay Slais will turn your mouth into a harp, and with it you'll mourn what's lost always. Here are the deaths of children by disease and drugs, the destruction of a marriage, a world haunted by dead parents, and so much brutally more. At the same time, these poems resist despair, an...d that clash climaxes in exultant moments of lyrical trembling. It often begins so quietly, in close observations of the quotidian, the mundane, before spreading outward, quickly, in concentric circles soon to enclose you in their world. Such is the pleasure of Mice Verses Man.” - Seth Michelson, author of House in a Hurricane


“R Jay Slais is a dynamic poet, whose first collection, Mice Verses Man, is destined to fly from the shelves.” - W.B. Burkholder at Troubador21

Thanks a lot Bill and Seth...
I am humbled by your words
