He can be reached at meta4laverne@aol.com About the Book The poems of this collection traverse a wide range of time and experiences, a variety of settings, periods of living, and life challenges, each chosen for its fit with the pattern and thematic of evaporating hours—poems of blueprint, poems of signature. The range of these selections is intentionally broad and widely divergent, a range that allows the poems’ avenues to coalesce in the mind, to be seen as part of a new found urgency about being here, about continuing to have the power to exercise and express our humanity. Throughout this collection, the themes of transience and mutability weave their haunting and evanescent threads, threads that draw the reader inward through encounters, observations, meditations. All the while, the clock ticks, the hands move . . . .
