This collection of poems explores the idea of passing time from the vantage point of later midlife. Explored are such universal experiences as the impending death of aging parents and the encroachment of one’s own mortality. These are poems of moving domestic intimacy and humor. They also serve as requiems for the people who have given Guyana its flavor and as songs of regret for the country's loss of civility during its dark recent years.
