Built of keen sensory attentiveness, nuanced imagery, and slyly condensed stories, the poems of Even Now create, within the recurring now, bridges between the human and nonhuman, dreaming and wakefulness, self and world, and the lost and the living. It is out of these connections that Lang makes for the reader worlds both tenderly haunted and alertly inhabited.—Jeanne Marie Beaumont, author of Placebo Effects
