About this Book

To say these poems balance on the fulcrum between grief and joy is too easy. Who's Asking? is a book of questions - about the nature of wonder, of meaning, questions about being caught between earth and heaven like the angels of Paul Klee's paintings who speak some of these poems. In other words, questions about the rigorous yet remorseless undertaking of being human. Large questions that bulge with a terrible asking but also those that bloom from close observation of the most ordinary circumstance. All of them shaded by the unrelenting awareness that Nobody gets saved. And yet this book is gifted with unexpected humor, unequivocal wisdom.
