“Aftertime is a collection of poems that play with time, retirement, glimpses across generations and ponders aging, death and their (im)possibilities. How is time felt in moments of life transitions? We live in time yet experience it at different tempos. Some days fly. Some hours crawl. And what of time itself – how do we live in time as we age, as we leave the world of work and duty, as death becomes more substantial? Aftertime also explores the nature of time itself to wonder if there is time after time, if one can be outside of time. A provocative look at time from the vantage of later in life.” ~ Micheline Maylor, past Poet Laureate of Calgary
