<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><em>The Poems She Didn't Write</em> is a whirlwind of sound, syntax, and form, working together to amplify everyday experience.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Honored as one of Nine Great Poetry Books of the Year by <i>The New Yorker</i>.</p><p><i>The Poem She Didn't Write</i> 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, <i>The New Yorker</i></p><p>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. --<i>Booklist</i></p><p>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.</p><p><b>From Not This: </b></p><p><i>my god all the days we have lived thru<br>saying<br></i></p><p><i>not this<br>one, not this, <br>not now, <br>not yet, this week<br>doesn't count, was lost, this month<br>was shit, what a year, it sucked, <br>it flew, that decade was for<br>what? i raised my kids, they<br>grew i lost two pasts . . .<br></i></p><p><b>Olena Kalyiak Davis</b> is a first-generation Ukrainian-American who was born and raised in Detroit.
