'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)
