She asks and demands that we be responsible and responsive to one another; that we bring care, compassion, accountability, and love in the proper proportions. These poems help us understand the contours of sexism, homophobia, racism, and antisemitism. They are poems that illuminate what we can ask from and offer one another. Drawing on Dykewomon's impressive body of poetry, What Can I Ask: New and Selected Poems 1975-2015 assembles into a single volume poems from Dykewomon's three published collections, They Will Know Me By My Teeth (Megaera Press, 1976), Fragments from Lesbos (Diaspora Distribution, 1981), and Nothing Will Be As Sweet as the Taste (Onlywomen Press, 1995), as well as a selection of newer, uncollected poems. Dykewomon continues asking questions and reaching for answers, demonstrating the power of poetry to comfort and enrage, inspire and arouse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elana Dykewomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944981802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944981808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinister Wisdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elana Dykewomon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135440109823,"sku":"9781944981808","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_044e2439-d8e8-4ff6-9267-3ffb28cfcfa7.jpg?v=1755010157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-can-i-ask-elana-dykewomon-9781944981808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
