Now as I stand Staring into the emptiness, A scroll of what was Unrolls itself, The pain, the agony And the silent sighs Of an enduring heart. What imminent danger lay in wait?

That Was Now, This Is Then
Author: Vijay Seshadri
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1644451328
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
The brilliant new collection from Vijay Seshadri, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning 3 Sections No one blends ironic intelligence, emotional frankness, radical self-awareness, and complex humor the way Vijay Seshadri does. In this, his fourth collection, he affirms his place as one of America’s greatest living poets. That Was Now, This Is Then takes on the planar paradoxes of time and space, destabilizing highly tuned lyrics and elegies with dizzying turns in poems of unrequitable longing, of longing for longing, of longing to be found, of grief. In these poems, Seshadri’s speaker becomes the subject, the reader becomes the writer, and the multiplying refracted narratives yield an “anguish so pure it almost / feels like joy.”
