AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'But Now is Phyllis Perlstone’s artistic statement of intent. In this book, Perlstone employs her characteristic fractured syntax and extraordinary visual focus, leaving you ‘dizzy with seeing’. Unusually, though, she allows us to draw near her, in her present and her past, as she makes a personal and political reckoning.' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

The Trajectory of a Life : Margaret Bradstock Reviews ‘But Now’ by Phyllis Perlstone Margaret Bradstock , 2023 single work review
— Appears in: Rochford Street Review , vol. 38 no. 1 2023;

— Review of But Now Phyllis Perlstone , 2022 selected work poetry

'Phyllis Perlstone’s most recent poetry collection, But Now, celebrates the trajectory of a life. The preface alerts us to the scenario we are about to enter, from the time of the second world war, through the Great Depression, to a life-style in modern-day Barangaroo. Perlstone’s forte is meticulous description, metaphors built from the surrounding environment, each moment expanded to its limits.' (Introduction)
