This is a brave and beautiful book. --Jan Beatty
The poems in Ways to Beg are in constant conversation. They speak to and of each other, to ancestors, gods, pets, strangers on planes, and, most often, directly to the reader. Their aim is mutual inquiry. They want to swap stories and jokes and secrets, to stay up all night, refilling your beverage of choice, diligently pursuing the unsaid, the unsayable. In short, they want to ask the right questions. To deliberate how we've come to inhabit our bodies, our families, our grief, our country, our planet--and how we intend to make good on that lonesome and curious responsibility.
