Paperback. Condition: Good. In poems that range from New England to the Southwest, Without My Asking, takes its cue from Psalms 90's petition--teach us to number our days.

In poems that attend to the events of our lives--from the deaths of parents to hummingbirds at a bird feeder--these poems work to utter Yes to all that happens, that peculiar affirmative that recognizes, as Elizabeth Bishop says, Life's like that . . . also death.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A family built, a family lost. Truth Has a Different Shape is a story of the power of compassion, of love and loss, revelations and relationship, and the evolution of self. Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, Kari O?Driscoll was taught that strength and stoicism were one and the same. She was also taught that a girl?s job was to take care of everyone else. For decades, she believed these ideas, doing everything she could to try and keep the remaining parts of her family together, systematically anticipating disaster and fixing catastrophes one by one.Truth Has a Different Shape is one woman?s meditation on how societal and familial expectations of mothering influenced her sense of self and purpose, as well as her ideas about caretaking. As an adult, finding herself a caretaker both to her own children and to her aging parents, O?Driscoll finally reckons with the childhood trauma that shaped her world. Adoption, loss, and divorce defined her approach to motherhood, but in Truth Has a Different Shape, O?Driscoll finally pushes back. This memoir tracks her progress as she discovers how to truly care for those she loves without putting herself at risk, using mindfulness and compassion as tools for healing both herself and her difficult relationships.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. .Legaspi, like William Carlos Williams, can find poetry anywhere. And like his mentor Pablo Neruda he seems able to locate the mysterious and the magical in the most common and overlooked objects. It is difficult to overestimate the daring and resourcefulness required to complete successfully this astonishingly original book. I believe this collection of poetry, so rich in the dailyness of the world and what wisdom we can draw from it, is ample evidence that Joseph O. Legaspi has arrived to a place none of his ancestors in life or in poetry have ever journeyed, and we his readers are the richer for it.--Philip Levine.…
