It's About Time

by Kathie Giorgio (Editor)

Birthdays. Monday Night Football. The arrival of hormones or their subsequent departure. Eyes opening wide to the world for the first time, or wrinkles causing them to disappear in a smile. Parallels in reality and in the universe. Do deadlines make you crazy? Do you see time with hour and minute hands on a white face, or
bright green digital numbers, a colon beating between like a heart? This anthology contains short stories, creative nonfiction and poetry that will make you think about time in all of its metamorphoses and metaphors.

Reviews

[Jess · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s an uneven anthology, sadly. Many excellent stories and poems are wedged against uninventive or mediocre efforts, diminishing the shine of the truly innovative and inventive.
