About the Book
Renowned poet Kate Baer returns with HOW ABOUT NOW, a bold and compassionate collection of poems that confronts the march of time in a shifting world. With her trademark candor and curiosity, Baer explores what it means to grow older, to release children into the wildness of their own lives, and to reclaim the ever-evolving self. Raw, luminous, and urgent, this collection channels Baer’s own journey to middle age into poems that are profoundly intimate yet resound universally, identifying the beauty, resilience, and fragility that arrive in every stage of life. HOW ABOUT NOW is a striking declaration of ongoing transformation and self-discovery. From the poet who has captured the heartbeat of the modern woman, this collection reaffirms Kate Baer’s place among the most vital voices of our era.
Public Radio and the Minnesota Star Tribune would like to thank this year’s Talking Volumes Season sponsor Episcopal Homes.
