By confronting the urgencies of daily life, from questions of identity to sexual abuse to racial unrest to the ubiquity of plastic, these poems investigate ways to sustain ourselves in our fraught public and private lives. With her characteristic linguistic play, Sharon Dolin illuminates some of the most personal concerns that resonate throughout our culture and in ourselves, such as error, despair, uncertainty, and doubt. In sections that deploy the lens of art, the \"Oblique Strategies\" of Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt, and meditations on dreams and spirituality, \u003ci\u003eImperfect Present\u003c\/i\u003e provides a panoply of approaches that grapple with the complexity of now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSharon Dolin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven books of poetry, most recently \u003ci\u003eManual for Living\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Whirlwind\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBurn and Dodge\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the AWP Donald Hall Prize in Poetry.
