The Future Will Call You Something Else

By: Natasha Sajé

These poems make a ripe and vivid present, imagine a past, or both. Questioning the known and pointing to the unknown, they acknowledge transience, including that of language. White space often serves to punctuate, while Sajâe's wit and play are leavening. The variety of subjects and forms, as well as the many poems of address, invite the reader to join intimate conversations. Preoccupied with place (Utah figures prominently) as well as time, this book creates a climate of its own.
