Ancients of the Earth: Poems of Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990842347)

Where does time hide? How can we nudge it aside, yet, confront its murky presence? Can we ever really "find" time? Without a doubt. Probing experience and knowledge through the hypnotic lens of time, Hickman's first book of poetry penetrates the haziness of existence. Within this web like dimension, humanity is a story of inevitable sameness, yet, as careworn individuals, we yearn to transcend the confines of time: to peer beyond linear thinking, to glimpse inner peace, and to see more than the finite lines of mortality. Ancients of the Earth literally sings with clarity and conviction. Written in six parts, Hickman's collection probes the tensions and complexities of the human condition via poems that capture a persistent wondering, and that invite readers to explore the powerful dictates of time anew. Illuminating, memorable, discerning.
