This collection by award-winning poet Holly Day is about change and the unrelenting passage of time, and how no matter how hard you try, there is just no way to stop it. For Day, writing has been a way to try to briefly stop time, to capture as much of what's going on around her and what's happening to her as possible. This collection of eighty poems is a book of snapshots, literary images of things the poet doesn't want to forget, such as "Hospice," "Dinner with the English Professor," "Sunshine," and "Parakeet."
