How to Love Everyone and Almost Get Away with It

“Headlong, agile, volatile, Lara Egger’s poems crackle with collision and invention. They shoot the divide between unsayable and unknowable. They ‘traipse the vast / in devastation.’ It’s a thrill to discover her work.”—James Haug, author of Riverain

“Beating inside Lara Egger’s chest is a beast of pathologic geometry. She cries and curses, begs and screams, and laughs it over the cliff. She refuses to love and die alone, will not ever judge you, will gladly swap all of your jaded conceits for a few hardy knocks of messy wonder. If you’re feeling lucky, say yes to her eternal burning questions. Say yes to all of them.”—Barrett Warner, author of Why Is It So Hard to Kill You?
