Shortly after I got to know Jeremy Ra reasonably well, I remember thinking 'I would not be surprised if this fellow—surprises me.' I sensed a certain something, a combination of passion, engagement, brain power and fast-rising talent. Ah! And let's not forget this important quality: A Sense of Humor. This marvelous first collection is evidence of that "certain something," and a justification of my early hunch. It seems likely that Jeremy Ra, together with some others, will be in the forefront of the next wave of Los Angeles poets.

Another Way of Loving introduces a talented young poet to a wider audience. Whether someone is making dumplings, trying to renew a subscription to the Times or tactfully leaving an apartment holding his shoes, Jeremy Ra’s poems make an indelible impression that lasts longer than any tattoo.

These exquisite poems explore the poet’s history and humanity. Steeped in revery, layered with longing, surrealism nudges up against erotica and memory, and the result, often devastating, is nothing less than brilliant. Ra’s poems chart a course both fierce and tender, taking the reader on a remarkable journey through his life and times.
