If in Time Selected Poems, 1975-2000

"Ann Lauterbach is too delighted by the exuberant cadence of verse to be a card-carrying Language poet, and her feminist ponderings inhibit her from easily fraternizing with the New York School poets. For over two decades, Lauterbach's poetic trajectory has been unique, constellating the tattered fabric of self with language full of auguries, parenthetical asides, found slogans, and glass-cut images...[O]verall, what differentiates Lauterbach from the newer poets who thrill in today's channel-surfing consciousness is that she freeze-frames our fleeting landscape in a language that is more philosophical than pop theory, more painterly than Polaroid."Lauterbach, Ann is the author of 'If in Time Selected Poems, 1975-2000' with ISBN 9780140589306 and ISBN 0140589309.
