Overview

"The poems in Because Time invite the reader into the imagined future of the poet's youngest students and grandchildren as this fragile generation negotiates the ""unprecedented"" times of pandemic, school shootings, abridgement of bodily autonomy and a climate gone bizarre; simultaneously the poems interrogate and redefine experiences and traumas of generations gone. A rumination on disruptions, on ""life after so much death,"" an homage at times to resilience, and a prayer for the future, the poet seeks ways to keep this youngest generation, despite logic and the odds, ""crazy for hope."" Abrams-Morley's poems are lyrical, narrative, accessible yet layered, filled with lush imagery and sly metaphor. Hers is a voice of a woman who has ""been there, through it"" and has come to a sort of fierce wisdom which she shares generously with her readers, while never becoming preacher or polemicist."
