Description
Poetry. Across a series of sixty-four poems, each titled with the eponymous refrain, I WANT SOMETHING OTHER THAN TIME worries the problem of self-identicality—the distance between the self and the self that recognizes the self—into the socio-political sphere as a problem of temporality, as the work of our shared subjects in perceiving and projecting pasts, futures, presents.
