In BY WAY OF, Toadlily Press has again resurrected the chemistry of four seemingly disparate travelers hurtling in unison toward something unknown. You, reader, will know them, as I now do, in a manner deeper than an anthology can offer. You are along for the ride, your ticket punched. By way of sequestering these four unique and powerful poets in the small berth between the covers of this beautiful, perfect-bound volume, both reader and author are traveling together. By way of their dissonance you will find a harmony and by way of their poems you will come to recognize yourself. --Sean Nevin, finalist for the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize from University of Pittsburgh Press and the Stan and Tom Wick Prize from Kent State University.
