Somehow (Paperback, 2012)

By Libby Wagner

Give up describing yourself like this: I’m not really a poetry person. We are all poetry people because we are makers and creators of the language. We are the harbingers of expression, and no matter our role, place, job, or country, we are longing to be understood. Language is that net we throw out across the great space between us, and like other art forms — music, visual arts, dance, theater, etc. — poetry aims to say the unsayable and draw someone closer as we are connected. This collection was assembled in the hopes that you might enjoy them yourself, you might give it to someone else, you might begin some strange new conversation with, “You know, I have this great poem I really want to share with you….”
