Description
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. A distinctive, book-length poem written over the course of a year. A YEAR FROM TODAY traverses a many-layered urban terrain—social, political, poetic, animal—in a form more raw than a diary, weightier than a series of sketches, more idiosyncratic and implicated than a conceptual program. Among this volume's many insights is how we spend our days detecting, minute-by-minute and phrase-by-phrase, anoverarching aesthetic and moral design. It's for the kind of grown-up who might say, "don't / look for / who's really in charge c'est moi." And for the kind of sensitive brigand who might add, "maybe the way to go about this / is to stay within earshot & sip theWild Turk."
