Description The first all-new collection of poems since 2011's Snowflake/different streets --and following the critically acclaimed Afterglow (a dog memoir) , as well as the volume of selected poems, I Must Be Living Twice --here, in Evolution , we find the eminent, exuberant writer at the forefront of American literature, upending genre in a new vernacular that enacts--like nobody else--the way we speak (inside and out) today. Evolution , with its channeling of Quakers, Fresca, and cell phones, radiates vital insight, purpose, and risk, like in these opening lines of the title poem: Something unearthly about today so I buy a Diet Coke & a newspaper a version of "me" something about me on the earth & its sneakers & feeling like the earth's furniture but that can't be true or like the coke & the Times it's true for a little while. Annotation Myles' collection finds the game-changing writer keying lines in an idiomatic, euphoric style that The New York Times has called "one of the essential voices in American poetry."
