Synopsis

Tell Us How to Live is a book of poetry but also a book of answers. Ace Boggess has crafted poems based on questions since 2002. He finds these questions in conversations, literary works, advertisements, social-media posts, and anywhere they appear, using them as titles and responding in thought-provoking, serious, lighthearted, or often unpredictable ways. This book offers a selection of these poems exploring the author's insights on the strangeness of the world around him and the smaller world within.
