Never were we more in need of the clarity and wisdom of No Way: An American 'Tao Te Ching.' David Romtvedt is a disarmingly playful Lao-tzu, skilled in the sleight of hand necessary to jolt us into sudden wonder regarding contemporary life. Every poem begins in the familiar and ends in the unexpected. Read this as a guide to equilibrium and survival in our perilous times.--Carolyn Forche In No Way, Romtvedt transforms what we've been hearing by taking it out of its familiar manner and into something more open that surprises even itself. His poems are the very starting point of activist poetry.--Sandra McPherson No Way is as gratifying and appealing as the Tao Te Ching itself. With a voice always honest and freshly present to moments as well as memory, Romtvedt offers a deeply comforting text for our weird time.--Naomi Shihab Nye
