Description

The Wanting Way is authored by a nonspeaking autistic artist who has developed a substantial following within interdisciplinary communities. The author has been widely published in Poem-a-Day, Poets.org, and the Poetry Society of America.

This book features a compelling endorsement from Lauren Russell. It is the second release in a significant new series by the publisher, Multiverse—a literary series created and curated by neurodivergent writers. The series will receive considerable promotion through media campaigns, advertising, and exclusive digital content.

With its unique viewpoint and engagement with the experiences of a nonspeaking autistic artist, as well as its focus on the natural world, The Wanting Way is a groundbreaking and accessible addition to a market that often lacks such perspectives.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for its innovative language and depth, The Wanting Way has been lauded by critics such as Victoria Chang of the New York Times Magazine, who commends Wolfond’s use of language as an invitation to witness a diverse, evanescent world. Publishers Weekly highlights the book’s probing of human-nature relationships, while Diane R. Wiener of Wordgathering notes its multidirectional communication and whimsical yet serious counsel. Donald Brackett of Critics at Large describes the poetry as tender-hearted evocations that embody an invisible architecture of grace and charm.
