The first all-new collection of poems since 2011s Snowflake/different streetsand following the critically acclaimed Afterglow (a dog memoir), as well as the volume of selected poems, I Must Be Living Twicehere, in Evolution, we find the eminent, exuberant writer at the forefront of American literature, upending genre in a new vernacular that enactslike nobody elsethe 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 earths furniture
but that cant be
true or like
the coke & the Times
its true for a little
while.
