Title: Now
First published: 1996
Description: These provocative poems from the author of the award-winning The Weight of Numbers bring us a deeply urban sensibility with a visions of New York City as it is, as it is coming apart. A tough and impressive work of art, Now is about memory and accommodation, about greed and hunger, lust and rage.

At times funny, at turns deeply spiritual and philosophical, this accomplished and striking collection confronts a range of contemporary subjects, from race relations to motherhood, modern Jewish experience to popular music. Fierce, tender, plainspoken, as well as finely wrought and artful, Now brings us the commanding voice of one of America's most talented younger poets.
