Description

Time Capsule is a debut poetry chapbook about love lost and love kept, the challenges of aging, worries over climate change, escapades with dogs, broken friendships, and art and literature-in essence, poems as varied as life. Personal experiences are used for a range of styles and stories. One poem recalls dancing in various forms and with various partners. Death is addressed in a poem in which the speaker plays cards with its agent. There is a serious sonnet and a lighthearted one; a ghazal and a villanelle; and free-range forms that all capture this poet's authentic, funny, and thoughtful voice.

Critical Reviews

"A potent meditation on love and loss, mixing memory with wit and a touch of humor."

-Diana Whitney, author of Dark Beds

"Clear-eyed and wise...Examining both love and mortality, these joyful poems 'celebrate our motley tunes, ' and honor a life well-lived."

-James Crews, author of Love Is for All of Us and Unlocking the Heart
