About this Item

Paperback. In Sandra Doller's vivid, syntactically knotty new book, Not Now Now, the reader revels in a tangle of music, make-believe, motherhood, and the convolutions of collective entanglement. These poems are funny and forceful, disrupting temporal and structural expectations with an insistence on a single word's potential to shift the mood or rev a line's engine. Not Now Now interrogates the often-pernicious language of ordinary forms: "A paragraph is not a problem / a poem is," she writes, "It's not like I sit around / yesterday's news." The three sequences that comprise this exciting new collection underscore Doller's continued assertion of wonder as ethos amid chaos. In Sandra Doller's vivid, syntactically knotty new book, Not Now Now, the reader revels in a tangle of music, make-believe, motherhood, and the convolutions of collective entanglement. Not Now Now underscores Doller's continued assertion of wonder as ethos amid chaos. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
