"Poetry is a Way of No Way" is Arnold’s second book following “A Way Out of No Way.” Pivoting from an auto-biographical lense, Arnold T. Grisham unleashes his creativity and teachings this time in the form of poetry.
"Within the pages of this book of poems is a deep resonance with the human experience that weaves together the threads of love, joy, sorrow, and contemplation. Each poem invites you to explore the spectrum of emotion that defines our existence. It is a companion for life's journey, and a true connection to the shared experiences that unite us all"
-Glenda Newell-Harris, M.D.

“Through this work of art, Arnold’s remains true to his roots as a master teacher and north star by carefully providing the attentive reader with “cheat codes” on how to understand, navigate and enjoy life. Embedded in each poem is a thoughtful and spiritual message that serves a compass directing us to respect, love and cherish one another for not only who we are but what we may become.”

“Words matter because of their capacity to build up or tear down. Arnold Grisham stewards his words well in this powerful collation of poems. The experiences, values, qualities and his unwavering faith shared in verse compositions help quench the thirst in our world for more messages of hope, restoration, unity and resilience. I’m grateful that he shows strength through his personal vulnerability, as a poet.”
