The first and perhaps most influential Slope Editions title, Jenny Boully's first book, The Body, is a surprising, complex study of self-discovery and memory composed entirely of a series of alternately dreamy, dark, and humorous footnotes. Now part of the annals of 21st century poetry, Boully's book is still a hot topic of conversation in literary circles.

"In these delicious footnotes to an elided text, maybe her greatest achievement is the formal one of realizing that poems themselves are footnotes to an immense silence."  - Robert Kelly

"The second thought made brilliant. Story shadows essay shadows poem. Boully's after-touch on the world of book culture is evocative and earthy and light."  - Thalia Field
