An irreverent and unapologetically Jersey meditation on friendship, family, aging, and gentrification.

In The Jersey Slide, veteran poet and proud Hoboken resident Danny Shot revels in the quotidian richness of his experience as a first-generation American and child of German Jewish refugees. Recounting tall tales and inside jokes, local histories, and family sagas, the poems in this collection sidle up to you like the loquacious barfly at your local dive, revealing unexpected drama, pathos, and humor in landscapes and faces you thought you knew. Written with pugnacious language and intimate humor, The Jersey Slide celebrates the unvarnished, working-class beauty of a diverse and scrappy community.
