Opis

Then Now Later is a short volume of poetry which explores the idea that the past present and future are always present(s) in our lives. Using simple language and a free-flowing mixture of rhymed and unrhymed verse, the author visits each title theme (then now later) individually, but appears to emphasize the importance of living 'in the now' while still trying absorb the nutrients of the past so that the recipe for the future is created with care. The book opens with the famous lullaby 'Row Row Row Your Boat' which serves as a perfect opener for the piece because after a series of shorter poems, the book becomes and concludes with a lengthy stream of consciousness narrative written 'in the now'. Every single Roundabout Every single pain Becomes A part Of the new art That now Is always bringing Every single Miracle Every single Smile Becomes a part Of the new art That now Is always singing
