The Time of the Earth is the last in Jaspreet Singhâ s â Still Astonishedâ trilogy, following How to Hold a Pebble and Dreams of the Epoch & the Rock.

Investigating the emotional and existential registers of inner life in this epoch informally named the anthropocene, The Time of the Earth writes alongside air, water, language, and memory: inseparable ecologies that humanity attempts to segregate at its peril. In our bones and our unconscious lurk atmospheric, hydrospheric, lithospheric, and biospheric entanglements, our â natureâ commingling with the â naturesâ of other species, and the poems in this book see and sing these relationships with a clarity at once reflective and urgent, grieving and playful. Jaspreet Singhâ s The Time of the Earth is a meditation on wonder as a method of survival, grounded in deepening awareness of the Earthâ s system.
