Or like a roof without edge or frame, pushed sideways in time?\" Ten years in the making, Waldrop's phenomenally beautiful new collection explores the felt nature of existence as well as gravity and velocity, the second hemisphere of time, mortality and aging, language and immigration, a Chinese primer, the artist Hannah Höch, and dwarf stars. Of one sequence, \"White Is a Color,\" first published as a chapbook, the Irish poet Billy Mills wrote, \"In what must be less than 1000 words, Waldrop says more about the human condition and how we explore it through words than most of us would manage in a thousand pages.\" Love blooms in the cut, in the gap, in the nick between memory and thought, sentence and experience. Like the late work of Cézanne, Waldrop's art has found a new way of seeing and thinking that \"vibrates on multiple registers through endless, restless exploration\" (citation for the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize).\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48814981349528,"sku":"1741260","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/819K6KhbvrL.jpg?v=1771980889","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/nick-of-time","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
