WHAT WILL LAST
In Gus Speth’s third book of poems, published in 2021, he tells stories about people and places, both poignant and humorous, reflecting on the things we love and can lose, aging, race, forgiveness, citizen action, and the search for everyday hope.
Praise for Speth’s What Will Last
“As I read, I say, Oh this is my favorite, until I get to the next and say, No this one. Another is a punch in the gut, the next leaves me hopeful. This is a book everyone should read. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t love Speth's work, even non-poetry people.”
— E. B. Moore, author of An Unseemly Wife and other novels.
