On the Level cuts to the reality of living with disability. Fear and courage—and humor—make their appearance, along with family trauma, invasive examinations, constantly moving medical targets, and accessibility barriers. Without pulling any punches, Bryan R. Monte shows us that life and joy push through and beyond limitations, both self- and other-imposed.

"Bryan R. Monte transforms his body into a literary landscape. An arresting debut." — Jacob M. Appel, Who Says You're Dead?

"The extraordinary thing about this collection is its positivity. Not in a facile sense—these poems are unsparingly real, bringing readers as close as I dare imagine to the experience of MS in their own bodies as well as in the mind. But the grace of the writing, its tenderness and often humor, lifts us, as does its determination to look through sometimes harrowing details to wider perspectives, ones we can all use, simply being human, moving outwards and on." — Philip Gross, Between the Islands and The Water Table (T.S. Eliot Prize)
