"It's like peering into the heart of a flower. The earthy directness of the vision coupled with the depth of scientific knowledge makes it unique and memorable.  Elizabeth Ayres can reveal the cosmos in a spider's web." 

—Jan Booth, author of Women Who Work

"Know the Way is an indispensable companion for anyone who feels lost on the journey called life. Whether you love poetry or hate it, you’ll agree that this book is the next best thing to a live performance by the internationally acclaimed writer and teacher, Elizabeth Ayres, who explains, “Poetry is my ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps’ way to live. That’s why I’ve given you a prose explanation for each poem. By sharing with you the ‘slice of life’ from which the work evolved, I hope to provide you with a clear pathway into your own deepest knowing.”

"Know the Way is a road map to those 'places of the heart' we all need to find. A joy to read. A pleasure to recommend." -- Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize for Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
