This book (of poems and essays by accomplished poets living with disabilities)...is "going to be one of the defining collections of the 21st century." - Ron SillimanStephen Kuusisto: Do Not Interrupt: A Playful Take on the Art of Conversation (AARP)
NEW! In this erudite and playful primer on the art of conversation Stephen Kuusisto vigorously tackles the slippery subject of how to converse meaningfully with others.
