DADDY (NYQ Books, 2020)
“Daddy brilliantly captures the full spectrum of gay life from childhood through middle age: all its camp humor and devastating losses, its plentiful joy and wrenching pain, its isolating loneliness and tender friendships, its shame and (self)acceptance, its raw sexuality and sincere love. Through accessible yet immensely poetic language at its best, Montlack ultimately transcends his own story to convey and confirm the humanity of us all, regardless.”
—Richard Blanco, Presidential Inaugural Poet
