As Is

by Sheryl Noethe

"As Is" tells the heroic story: loss, struggle, victory, and how god is milk and throat at once, and rock and child, & how the future leaks outlandishly into the present. That the reason humans exist (now didn't you ever want to know that?), the reason for humans is that we can love. It's our job because that's what we were built to do. Join the Divine.


These poems are as colorful and uplifting as a hot air balloon—and as terrifying but ultimately exhilarating as the view down from that balloon over the Swiss Alps.
