Part daybook on living a meaningful life, part phenomenological treatise, What Is Given is a field guide to the interior. Again and again, we are brought to places and difficulties and moments of grace, and each time, a wise guide directs our eye, shows us what lies underneath, and offers a way forward.-Sebastian Matthews, author of In My Father's Footsteps
In poems acutely aware of loss, Washburn comes back to the redeeming beauty of the sensual world. These are poems infused with love and a profound trust in, as she titles one of her poems, 'the radical hospitality of the senses.' With poetry that reminds us to be grateful for what is given, Washburn establishes herself as a necessary poet for our difficult times. -Ed Falco, author of X in the Tickseed
