Synopsis

In TIME MACHINE, Kevin Acers has written a collection whose central theme is the slippery nature of time. He explores this and other aspects of human experience with appearances by cats, goats, tadpoles, peacocks, chickens, blueberries, houseflies, edible light bulbs, Asian towns, volcanoes, dentures, dreams, and more. They illustrate in various, unexpected ways how the human mind is a portable time machine. Written in prose poetry, the pieces are sometimes quirky and surreal. Some are amusing--at times darkly amusing. Often they are poignant and reflective. Some shorter, some longer, the assortment reads as part fiction, part personal musings, part humanistic quandaries, part lyrical delight, part squawk, part silence.
