¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions
Daniel Hales
(Author)Description
¿Cómo Hacer Preguntas? or How To Make Questions: 69 Instructional Poems in English explores the spaces from which questions arise -- the memories, musings, and metaphysics we use to seek out meaning in life. Riffing on the literal translation of the Spanish phrase "hacer pregunatas," these sixty-nine (or are there?) poems focus on the making of questions, rather than the answering of them. They interrogate everything from the mundane ("How To Pass The Time" "How To Write A Cover Letter"), to the sublime ("How To Transform Base Matter Into Gold" "How To Find God"), to the surreal ("How To Enter The Fifth Dimension" "How To Keep A Secret You Don't Know"). This collection is sure to disappoint anyone wanting answers or guidance. But for anyone willing to be involved in the creation, the making, of life's important questions, this is the book for you.

About the Author
Reviews
"Throughout this collection, Hales demonstrates an irrepressible wit, a musician's ear, and a command of language that propels us past expectations to the very threshold of wonder."
William Waltz, editor of Conduit & author of Zoo Music
"...if you know any of Hales' previous work--and if you don't, I'm telling you now--nothing will be ordinary here. Torches will
be lit, envelopes pushed, locks picked, tickets for the guided tour procured, and you'll find yourself, at the end of the poem, someplace you didn't expect to be. Hales is smart and agile with words, and funny in ways both outright and sly."
