Every Clock Has Its Place

by Catherine Zickgraf

In Every Clock Has Its Place, time and space are finite, explored through mortality and landscape. The storyteller arrives at her life through her forefathers and lives on through her offspring. She is responsible for observing the generations who made her and directing those to come. Time ties together these poems, while woven around the bathroom faucet, jellyfish, and lost stars is a purpose where the world reveals its answers.

Reviews

[Tamara Madison · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this collection of poetry, Catherine Zickgraf dares to tackle the "tough stuff" of motherhood and challenges of her own ancestry. Zickgraf dares to face her own imperfection and mortality as a woman, mother, daughter, and wife. She pushes herself to discuss some of those uncomfortable challenges that often shame us into silence. This poet is on a mission to heal while inspiring others to do the same.
