The author recently reconnected with the work of Amanda Palmer through her Podcast, which led him to the book The Art Of Asking, and from there to her many interviews and projects and her music. It made the author want to reinvigorate his own work with that same sense of honesty. These 30 poems are intended as a tribute to Amanda's spirit and integrity refracted through the author's personal lense.
