Book Synopsis The Now by : Albert Goldbarth

Download or read book The Now written by Albert Goldbarth and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Now describes the unique, and sometimes baffling, moment in which we live, a time defined by an immediate future of online wonderments, fake news, multiple personalities, data economy, gene modification, and the rest of the exciting-and-yet-ominous "technology culture," even as it's a time when the urge to memorialize the past—to sing elegiacally—seems more important than ever. Between poems that consider the disappearance of language in an age of digital/binary communication, and poems that mourn the disappearance of fellow poets and artists, this collection attempts to stand on a nano-second that looks both backward and forward in time: the ever-shifting "now."
