A Year From Today traverses a many-layered urban terrain-social, political, poetic, animal-in a form more raw than a diary, weightier than a series of sketches, more idiosyncratic and implicated than a conceptual program. Among this volume's many insights is how we spend our days detecting, minute-by-minute and phrase-by-phrase, an overarching aesthetic and moral design. It's for the kind of grown-up who might say, "don't/look for/who's really in charge c'est moi." And for the kind of sensitive brigand who might add, "maybe the way to go about this/is to stay within earshot & sip the Wild Turk."
