Paterson Poetry Prize Finalist, 2015Featured on NPR\'s The Writer\'s AlmanacEllen Bass\'s new poetry collection, Like a Beggar, pulses with sex, humor and compassion.--The New York TimesBass tries to convey everyday wonder on contemporary experiences of sex, work, aging, and war. Those who turn to poetry to become confidants for another\'s stories and secrets will not be disappointed.--Publishers WeeklyIn her fifth book of poetry, Bass addresses everything from Saturn\'s rings and Newton\'s law of gravitation to wasps and Pablo Neruda.
