Slip of the Tongue book by Katie Haegele

100 pages, 5.1 x 0.6 x 7.9 inches

"In these short pieces, Katie reveals a lot about herself as she ponders these many things related to language. Words are loaded, they are powerful and they can have a huge effect on us. It's hard work turning thoughts into words and getting them down on paper. It's hard work, yes, but somebody's gotta do it and thankfully one of those somebodies is Katie Haegele." — Reglar Wiglar

“Quirky, revealing, and most definitely unique, [Haegele's] distinctive, seemingly artless, and nakedly honest voice draws readers into her memoir.”  — Philadelphia Inquirer

“Less like a book and more like a letter from a friend, a friend who knows all about the art of the rummage and the nuances of reviewing yard sales. It's a truly joyful read but also tinged with sadness and grief, in the way happiness is in real life. When you relate to another person, they have history: an amalgamation of grief, nostalgia, pain, and also happiness. This book will stay in my life for a long time.”  —Razorcake
 

“Since words do not exist in a vacuum, it seems to make sense then that it is poetry's fictions that can resurrect these dead words. Still, being a well-conceived project doesn't necessarily mean the result would be engaging. That they are attests to Haegele's tal-ents…witty, charming, and/or beguiling.”  —Eileen Tabios, Galatea Ressurects online magazine

"Part memoir and part intellectual ruminations on language, how we use it, and how it has changed, Slip of the Tongue will please anyone who fancies themselves a logophile or linguistics genius, or even just someone looking for a good, fun book." —Ashley Houk, Utne Reader
