I Want Something Other Than Time

Lewis Freedman

Across a series of sixty-four poems, each titled with the eponymous refrain, I WANT SOMETHING OTHER THAN TIME worries the problem of self-identicality--the distance between the self and the self that recognizes the self--into the socio-political sphere as a problem of temporality, as the work of our shared subjects in perceiving and projecting pasts, futures, presents.

Poetry.
