Some of the narratives collected here are unusually long (like Dementia Colander, a mock-epic about the history of an unnamed nation whose king suffers a rare disease). These poems attempt to offer not just poetic moments, glimpses of joy or loss, but a sense of self in time and history-whole lives in all of their busy-ness and disorder. Lisa Zeidners dark wit considers any subject, from the Holocaust to child abuse, a subject for intellectual playfulness and emotional discovery.Despite the range of subjects, the poems in Pocket Sundial are bound by a concern for time, for how we think about time. These are poems about memory, foresight, anticipation, regret-all of chronologys complexities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731138117920,"sku":"NEW0299119246","price":18.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61HYKI9_VcL.jpg?v=1779433234","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pocket-sundial-wisconsin-poetry-series-volume-1988-0299119246","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
