Time's Arrow

Abstract

Using narrative and lyric modes, the poems of Time's Arrow address the experiences of childhood in the Midwest, of growing up with a handicapped brother, of coming to terms with the humanness of one's parents, and of reconciling the inescapable aloneness of being a conscious creature. Time's Arrow is itself an act of memory, of putting back together-- perhaps inexactly-- the pieces of a life; for time inevitably changes the past.
