    “Book Descriptions: 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.
