"In a world where the only speed is fast and product occludes process, What Are You Waiting For? is a dose of love medicine. From a brilliant and diverse collection of voices come tales of patience and tenderness. This book is a gift, a reminder that we have no time to rush." ―Marika Lindholm and Domenica Ruta

"What Are You Waiting For? is my platonic ideal of a literary anthology—a diverse chorus of voices, in a variety of genres, on a most relatable theme. Who among us hasn't confronted the difficulty in waiting for what we know—or hope—is coming? A stellar collection of musings on a universal topic." ―Sari Botton, editor of Goodbye to All That and Never Can Say Goodbye, and founder of Oldster Magazine

"As one contributor to this striking volume puts it, 'waiting is murky business.' The writers in What Are You Waiting For? have visited that space between what has been and what might be, observed it with such ruthless honesty that we trust them to lead us out of the crevices of time into which we often fall. Kathy Curto has curated a visceral guide to the exquisite art of waiting, an array of experiences at once familiar and new, hoped for and dreaded—and always illuminating." ―Edvige Giunta, Co-editor of Talking to the Girls: Intimate and Political Essays on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire and Professor of English, Kean University
