“How shall I live? It seems to me that a great press not only helps ask just that question, but also offers us books to fill our shelves that help us articulate that very mystery, of having a life in a living world and how best to do the least harm. No kind of book is excluded from such a venture, and so it is that no reader is excluded either. And that’s a press that I can feel devotion to—not a small word, I know, but the right one to use and how I feel about Milkweed as a press that invites us all in.”

“Milkweed understands what the world needs, not only to survive, but to come together and get along. The genesis of how we grow, function, and sustain as cultural human beings is up to the community builders like Milkweed. I’m proud to be part of the community that Milkweed builds. I’m not only a better writer for it, I’m a more grateful human being.”
