    I traveled the dirt road with no water in sight. 
My lips parched and dry from the burning sun. 
My feet cracked and rough, cut with sharp stones. 
I had traveled this road many times. 
I knew the trail, yet somehow this time 
it seemed unfamiliar; 
All around was desolation, bareness, and emptiness. 
I was tired of the heat; I cried out to God 
"Father please come rescue me." 
He said, "I am right here." 
He was just waiting for me to ask for help. 
He gave me water for my thirst, 
Food for my hungry soul, and he walked on with me. 
I trust him more now, 
I know I will never pass this way again.

    The Prophet is a book of prose poetry that made its Lebanese-American author Kahlil Gibran famous.
Originally published in 1923, the book begins with a man named Almustafa living on an island called Orphalese. Locals consider him something of a sage, but he is from elsewhere and has waited twelve years for the right ship to take him home. From a hill above the town, he sees his ship coming into the harbor, and realizes his sadness at leaving the people he has come to know. The elders of the city ask him not to leave. He is asked to tell of his philosophy of life before he goes, to speak his truth to the crowds gathered. What he has to say forms the basis of the book.

"The sonnet, like poverty, teaches you what you can do / without," Diane Seuss writes in this brilliant, candid work, her most personal collection to date. These poems tell the story of a life at risk of spilling over the edge of the page, from Seuss's working-class childhood in rural Michigan to the dangerous allures of New York City and back again. With sheer virtuosity, Seuss moves nimbly across thought and time, poetry and punk, AIDS and addiction, Christ and motherhood, showing us what we can do, what we can do without, and what we offer to one another when we have nothing left to spare. Like a series of cels on a filmstrip, frank: sonnets captures the magnitude of a life lived honestly, a restless search for some kind of "beauty or relief." Seuss is at the height of her powers, devastatingly astute, austere, and—in a word—frank.
