Synopsis
Honored as one of "Nine Great Poetry Books of the Year" by The New Yorker.
"The Poem She Didn't Write is a breakup book, full of the kinds of invective and taunts honed by a person who has spent, as all of us have now spent, infinite hours online. Its complex tones arise from the poet's wanting equally to seduce and to repel a lover whose deepening silence only provokes rhetorical escalation." --Dan Chaisson, The New Yorker
"Davis's first full collection in a decade should be stamped with the warning, 'Buckle up!, ' because entering this writer's mind is one wild ride of digression, mutation, and syntactical and typographical experimentation." --Booklist
Olena Kalytiak Davis revivifies language as she addresses, with a heightened post-confessional directness, lost love, sexual violence, and the confrontations of aging. With her characteristic syntactical play, sly slips of meaning, and all-out feminism, Davis hyper-consciously erases the rulebook.
From "Not This":
my god all the days we have lived thru
saying
not this
one, not this,
not now,
not yet, this week
doesn't count, was lost, this month
was shit, what a year, it sucked,
it flew, that decade was for
what? i raised my kids, they
grew i lost two pasts . . .
