| Finalist, Raymond Souster AwardIn this timely and powerful debut, SÃle Englert explores what it is to feel othered in a world where everything is connected. Moving through time and memory â from childhood to motherhood, from historical figures and events to the precarious environment of the Anthropocene â Englertâ s voice brims with grief while still holding space for whimsy.Juxtaposing unlikely metaphors and inchoate memories, these poems wander a timeline where Amelia Earhartâ s bones call out from the past, an abandoned department store mannequin keeps an eye on the future, and spacecraft sing to each other through the dark: "we are only what we remember." Unearthing objects beautiful and bizarre, The Lost Time Accidents challenges the readerâ s perceptions, finding empathy for the lost, the broken, and the overlooked. |
