Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Baumel, a very gifted young poet, snares our hearts and minds with her second collection, whose title refers to the moment lived, a moment that Baumel adeptly dissects to show that every "now" contains a "then," every second of current experience may be a trigger that releases the bullet of memory. Her language is both simple and rich, abounding with common images made newly resonant, as in a poem about a woman who has lost her grandmother and now watches an ambulance go by: "Still they go past now, in every one a little story, / a little store window of pain, / there they go, taking someone, no her, her, her." Her subjects range from cleaning Sabbath poultry to dropping a needle on the floor, and every incident she describes she infuses with recollections that make her stop and make the reader yearn for the collection to keep going, yearn for more warm, salty morsels of a life that seems very familiar.
