The Guy

"It is easy to write about sex, much harder to write poetically about sexuality. The poems and the collection of line drawings in Marilyn Wolf's, The Guy, succeed in the latter with their exploration of a tension that surely lives at the heart of our species: loyalty vs lust."    

- John Barr, author of The Boxer of Quirinal

"In this riveting book-length poem, Marilyn Wolf takes us on the emotional rollercoaster ride of a woman who comes out of a 'maelstrom of horror,' to rebuild her life in a new town with a new love - The Guy. But although the sex is great, he has a secret that threatens to hurl her back into a whirlpool of woe. Wolf's writing is reminiscent of Henry Miller."   

- David Allen, author of Deadlines Amuse Me 

"A tantalizing tale of the cycle of loss and recovery. Slip into something comfortable and devour."   

- Mike Nierste, author of Still Waters

"The Guy, by Marilyn Wolf, delves into the intricacies of human emotions, relationships, and life experiences. With a unique blend of lyrical beauty and raw honesty, The Guy is a testament to Wolf's exceptional talent as a poet."   

- Angela Jackson-Brown, author of Untethered

"Free verse is outside my comfort zone. Having said that-I was pulled in and hooked early on. I wanted to know how it ended. I couldn't put it down until I had read it all. The emotions are spot on. Raw, real, authentic. The drawings enhance the verse. I fully recommend it."
