Every Day but Tuesday - Softcover

"These poems are clean and discriminating, revealing a poet concerned with the tension of the line, the tension of silence, and the pursuit of something beyond epiphany, something closer to truth.-- "Publishers Weekly" "The figures traversing Freeman's obscure, elemental landscapes are colonists and captives, castaways and survivors, sovereigns and those who use the service entrance. As per its title [Every Day But Tuesday], Freeman's bracing book troubleshoots the broken circuit of time in our time, compelled by the precarious hope that our "present / soon-to-be outsourced" might nonetheless manufacture a worthy future here at home. Her nervous hum is "a song in the form of a question."--Andrew Zawacki "Boston Review Micro-Review" (1/1/2017 12:00:00 AM)

Every Day But Tuesday is a book of lyric experiments amassed from a space beyond ordinary time, where "this is tomorrow and the sun" stands, reverberating both as precursor and postscript to the apocalypse. The extraordinary world of these poems, coming from the sea, forests, islands, mountains, and rivers, form an utterly new logic of sound patterning and metric sense-making, colliding a series of gorgeous associations with a suite of prepositions forever reconfiguring.
