published 2020 69 pages
Cycling through themes of aging, dying and the inescapable erosion of
life, Souaid's poems are a poignant catalogue of finite moments, a nod
to the “inadequacy of the present” and the “incremental
withdrawal” of earthly things, peppered with insistent, eleventh-hour
reminders that what ultimately matters is not the “finish line”
or the “final performance” of a career, but the human spirit
“orbiting the nucleus of time.” |
