LSU Press, paperback Publication Date: January 13, 2026 Publisher Marketing: The poet Paul Celan noted that, in his view of language, thinking and thanking are cognate, innately co nnected in their roots and connotations. Elements & Offerings, a new collection of poems by Dan Beachy-Quick, is a book-length poetic investigation of that hope--that to think is to learn to thank; that to thank is to learn to think. The first two sections seek a way to work toward poetic origins, taking inspiration from the alphabet, first philosophy, grammar, and prophecy; the last section offers poems composed over many years, simple gifts of gratitude to teachers and friends.
