The Now by Albert Goldbarth
Poems that Consider the Disappearance of Language in an Age of Digital Communication
Albert Goldbarth just may be the American poet of his generation for the agesOften humorous but always serious, Goldbarth combines erudite research, pop-culture fanaticism, and personal anecdote in ways that make his writings among the most stylistically recognizable in the literary world."" - Judith Kitchen, The Georgia Review
""There's seemingly no field of knowledge so obscure nor slice of American life so cornball that it can't give rise to a Goldbarth tour de force . . . Still, what makes Goldbarth's best poems irresistibly memorable is not their dizzying profusion but their heroic efforts on behalf of memory itself. It's this thirst to get everything down, to plumb the recesses of psyche and history alike, that gives his roustabout verse its authentic tenderness and tragi-comedic amplitude . . . He has been one of poetry's most enthusiastic makers."" - Poetry magazine
""Albert Goldbarth has amassed a body of work as substantial and intelligent as that of anyone in his generation."" - Harvard Review
