For Now

For Now: New and Collected Poems 1979-2017 represents more than forty years of the work of the poet Daniel Weeks. Although many of the poems have been drawn from his seven published books and chapbooks others have previously appeared only in literary journals or have never before appeared in print. My goal has always been to write poems that cannot be mistaken for prose Weeks has said and readers have remarked on the lyricism rhythmic flow and musical prosody of his work as well as its vivid hard-edged imagery and wide cultural and historical resonances.
