Not Even This is a captivating parenting physics and poetry adventure that will leave you in awe. Max Porter, via Twitter, describes it as "a clever, cosmic, moving, and funny parenting physics and poetry adventure." Ocean Vuong praises it as "a magical book," an incantation to be fully present, fully concerned, and fully alive. Luke Kennard calls it "a wonderful book."
With the birth of his first child, poet Jack Underwood is faced with the panic of living in a time of unparalleled global uncertainty. Even as he holds his baby daughter, the question of how to survive it all seems more fragile and fraught than ever.
In Not Even This, Underwood takes a nimble journey through various encounters with uncertainty, touching on questions of time, poetry, climate change, physics, economics, and the serious business of Being Silly. Gradually, he and his daughter show each other what it takes to get by—how attentiveness and language are tools with which we can discover a realm of shared intimacy, hope, and trust.
Part memoir, part poem, part love letter to a daughter and to all new parents, Not Even This is a delightful and delicate book about how to live now—thrilling, terrifying, fundamental. It will inspire and empower you to navigate the challenges of parenting in a world that is constantly changing.
