The Wanting Way Wordgathering Review by Diane R. Wiener

The second book in Milkweed’s “Multiverse” series, Adam Wolfond’s The Wanting Way is a multi-sensory Crip adventure. Multiverse is comprised entirely of works written by Neurodivergent, Autistic, Neuroqueer, Mad, Nonspeaking, and otherwise culturally Disabled writers. I reviewed the first book in the series, Hannah Emerson’s The Kissing of Kissing, for Wordgathering.

Through experiencing Wolfond’s work, as Milkweed’s publicist, Morgan LaRocca notes, readers are asked “to slow down, get playful, and imagine a world more inclusive and understanding of the power of neurodiversity.” The “thin blue line” that threads throughout the book, as LaRocca explains, is “an inventive new form emerging from its already gorgeous verse.”
