Anything You Want - Paperback

by Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno (Author)

Anything You Want stands as Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno's magnum opus, a final salutation of gratitude to all he experienced and loved. This book, and indeed, his whole life, is a testament to the power of poetry, of all forms of creative imaginings, and he lived it with humility, kindness, simplicity, a deep joie de vivre and with profound wisdom and a lively and generous sense of humor. In Anything You Want you will find these characteristics chiseled through time and timelessness with a precision rarely sustained in language's infinite potential for revealing both the reality of everyday life and what the poet Osip Mandelstam once called: "the what should be." The poems wander through the realms of birth and death, loss and abundance, radical acceptance and on further through the smallest miraculous details of tenderness for how we live with and help one another.
