"In our time there has been no poet who revived human hearts and spirits more convincingly than William Stafford." --Naomi Shihab Nye Some time when the river is ice ask me mistakes I have made. Ask me whether what I have done is my life. --from "Ask Me" In celebration of the poet's centennial, Ask Me collects one hundred of William Stafford's essential poems.
