Way to GoWay to Go

"A jubilant, irreverent, generous collection by a poet facing terminal illness. Following his New York Times Best of the Year Dark Woods, Richard Sanger's fourth collection is a clear-eyed and big-hearted chronicle of terminal illness and a joyful inventory of the passions of a life well lived. Understated, tender, and archly funny, this collection comes on the heels of his chapbook, Fathers at Hockey, a gritty and magical glimpse into an ice rink, which was selected as a favorite book of the year by The Walrus. Way to Go takes that magic and runs-becoming a retrospective and an inventory of the passions of a life well lived. Akin to the work of Ross Gay and Ada Limon, reminiscent of Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems, Sanger creates a catalog of things that he loves, has loved, and still dreams he may yet find a way of loving. A jubilant, irreverent, generous collection by a poet facing terminal illness."--
