This is what people said about the
poetry in this book:
Dear
Daniel:
Thank you for the impromptu generosity last Wednesday night at the Art Bar. I value my copy of "Slipped Out."
I should have asked you to autograph it. Until
I read it last night, I had regarded you as a mystagogue
who led trips to Sacred Egypt (to quote the title of a book by Paul Brunton) and made mysterious remarks about BenBen. Now I regard you as a
lively and intriguing poet. I was taken by surprise by
many poems in the book, notably "Absurdities" "Ode to Villon," and "Key King!" I
could add others to the list. Some of the other poems
had points of interest but to my ear could have made good use of regular formal
structure to allow the invention and variations to work. I
have no idea what "Kolos" means in Hungarian, but in my English
lexicon it means "Read this poet!"

It was a poetry lover's dream
Nicki Cruickshank in The Durham Chronicle, Front Page, Wednesday, November
26, 2003, in a review of Daniel Kolos’ launching “Slipped
Out” at Fred Turner’s Bookshop in the
"Slipped
Out" is a sensual delight. By turns witty and erotic, thoughtful and
confrontational, Daniel reflects on current world events and our primal
connection with the earth....

Your poetry is remarkable. Your words grab the feelings with intensity and warmth. You are one heck of a poet, Daniel. Thank you ever so much for being our feature. (November 21, 2003)

I
like, admire “Butterflies’.
It
is a real poem.
Every
word – line – is a surprise.
It
is an image that moves feeling.
And
so is soul-full.

Thanks you for the wonderful poems.
-Byron Sheardown (Editor, Quills, The Canadian Poetry
Magazine, in August, 2003, upon receiving two poems as submissions to the
Premier Issue – both were accepted!)
Daniel's reading was excellent; his humour
is deliciously wicked and so is his book!
From Katerina Fretwell (e-mail to Penn Kemp, publisher of Slipped Out - Pendas Poetry Series 2 – after a reading at the Station Gallery, Parry Sound, on November 1, 2003) http://www.poets.ca/linktext/direct/fretwell.htm
Your real life voice is warm and resonant with joie
de vivre, and so is this poetry. Best of all its funny --and sexy, like
you.
