Items related to The Now: Poems (Pitt Poetry Series)
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."

Wrist Beep
Once there weren't even cell phones,
hard though it is for a twenty-something
to credit that—but I remember those days,
and we communicated fine. Now, of course,
there are phone/computer/location chips
the size of a grain of rice
you can have implanted in your wrist.
In the detective novel, the wisdom is
don't bother to trail your mark from behind;
he'll be checking over his shoulder
especially to see if he's being followed.
If possible, stay a little ahead of him.
If that's how it works I think I get to say
the future is stalking me.
