The third full-length poetry collection from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman.

Renowned poet Kate Baer returns with a bold and compassionate collection that confronts the march of time in a shifting world.

With her trademark candor and curiosity, Baer explores what it means to grow older, to release children into the wildness of their own lives, and to reclaim the ever evolving self. Raw, luminous, and urgent, this collection channels Baer’s own journey to middle age into poems that are profoundly intimate yet resound universally, identifying the beauty, resilience, and fragility that arrive in every stage of life.

How About Now is a striking declaration of ongoing transformation and self-discovery. From the poet who has captured the heartbeat of the modern woman, this collection reaffirms Kate Baer’s place among the most vital voices of our era.


Kate Baer is the three-time New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman, I Hope This Finds You Well, and And Yet. Her work has also been published in The New Yorker, Literary Hub, Huffington Post, and the New York Times.


Joanna Goddard is the founder of Cup of Jo, the daily women's lifestyle site, and Big Salad, the #1 fashion/beauty newsletter on Substack. She writes openly and honestly about topics including parenting, relationships, divorce, and female friendship — plus, movies, books, and Trader Joe's hacks. She lives in Brooklyn with her two chatty boys.
