| 520 | |a "In "No Way: An American Tao Te Ching," David Romtvedt explores the art of living in the fast-paced, dangerous, unpredictable contemporary world. Lucid and wise in the spirit of its ancient Chinese predecessor, "No Way" functions as a kind of offbeat-yet-deadly-serious manual on the conduct of life. This slightly tongue-in-cheek take on the Tao's advice acknowledges that nobody likes being told how to live, least of all the author himself. With an openness to complexity and mystery, in tones that range from cool to fiercely passionate, "No Way" brings the Tao into the social turmoil of a twenty-first-century United States beset by political strife, mass shootings, and financial greed. Romtvedt combats cynicism and malaise with wry verse that positions itself in the role of the trickster. The voice of these poems can be serious and contradictory, yet also humorous and welcoming. By suggesting that the days of the ancient Tao are gone for good, "No Way" offers readers an invitation to guide themselves forward, free of sages and rulers"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
