That’s Just the Way It Is is a beacon for our world in which headlines read, “U.S. to spend 1.8 billion on nukes” and “9,000 Syrian civilians killed in the last year.” Wolf’s collection is a study in empathy and protest. It is a call to action and a harsh mirror we need to hold up to ourselves. Wolf takes on racism, homelessness, and our callousness to myriad problems until they touch us. But this book is as compassionate as it is tough. Wolf knows that “Hope survives/ . . . until handfuls of dirt/hit casket lids.” And with poetry like this, we can’t help but hope and work for better days.

Karen Wolf finds poetic inspiration from walks along the Maumee River and runs on roads that meander around the farmlands surrounding her home. She receives love and compassion from her partner, Chris Werkman, and joy from their five cats. Her work at Nature’ s Nursery Wildlife Rehabilitation Center energizes her soul. Playing baseball and mini-stick hockey with her grandsons, Presley and Tate, keeps her young. And demonstrating each week against America’s wars enables her to make a difference.
