Joyce Perseroff

Eastern Mountain Time Joyce Perseroff

What endures the encroachments of time, history nature and mortality? Peseroff speculates with a
clear-headed, wry look at the world?s catalogues and almanacs of largesse?lilies, Jerry Garcia, men
in fog, animal joy?as well as its sorrow. In startling original poems full of leaps and digressions that
reveal the mind in action, readers will encounter life through a person made raw by observation, a mind
processing loss and mortality in a petal, a poet alert to how syntax and language can reconfigure the
experience of grief.
