The Future Will Call You Something Else - Paperback

by Natasha Sajé (Author)

"Is language our home, or is it a form of lament, an expression of our bewilderment and consternation? Throughout her career, Natasha Sajé has asked this question, always in the hope that words might offer us that 'shelter' that Celan so ardently believed they could. Sajé's poems are searching, canny, whip-smart, scrupulously self-aware, and effortlessly capable of moving from wit to pathos, from worry to delight, all in the space of a few lines. The Future Will Call You Something Else is a book of genuine accomplishment, the work of a poet of consequence, one who is writing at the height of her considerable powers." -David Wojahn
