The Drug of Choice

Christopher Cahill

"Cahill has reinvented the Roman erotic elegy for modern New York: lust, rage and longing are given play in verse that ranges from the raw to the exquisitely formal." — Edward Conlon

"Christopher Cahill uses poetry and prose, truth and fiction, frank obscenity and polished formal verse to reflect back to us the only contemporary love that dare not speak its name -- male heterosexual adulterous desire....The Drug of Choice is powered by a love of truth and a love of women. It is shocking and it is a masterpiece." — Caitlin Flanagan, Staff Writer, The New Yorker

"These poems will keep you on your toes with their exciting mix of lust and formality, the happy shuffling together of curb-talk and cultured discourse. The selections in The Drug of Choice are a guaranteed buzz, and some are strong enough to get you off for days." — Billy Collins
