David Romtvedt's No Way: An American ""Tao Te Ching"" explores the
art of living in the fast-paced, dangerous, unpredictable
contemporary world. Lucid and wise in the spirit of its ancient
Chinese predecessor, No Way functions as a kind of
offbeat-yet-deadly-serious manual on the conduct of life. This
slightly tongue-in-cheek take on the Tao's advice acknowledges that
nobody likes being told how to live, least of all the author
himself. With an openness to complexity and mystery, in tones that
range from cool to passionate, No Way brings the Tao into the
social turmoil of a twenty-first-century United States beset by
political strife, mass shootings, and financial greed. Romtvedt
combats cynicism and malaise with wry verse that positions itself
in the role of the trickster. The voice of these poems can be
serious and contradictory yet also humorous and welcoming. By
suggesting that the days of the ancient Tao are gone for good, No
Way offers readers an invitation to guide themselves forward, free
of sages and rulers.
