The Last Time as We Are by Taylor Mali (Paperback)

Taylor Mali’s The Last Time as We Are is a reminder that the best teachers aren’t always standing at a chalkboard—they’re everywhere.

With his signature mix of wit and heart, Mali explores love, language, and the lessons we learn when we’re paying attention. Through entertaining and straightforward verses, Mali delves into the language of love and the love of language.

 The Last Time as We Are is for the reader who never wants to stop learning.

So don’t waste my time and your curses on verses
about what you are against, despise, and abhor.
Tell me what inspires you, what fulfills and fires you.
Put your goddamn pen to paper and tell me what you’re for!
