Ian Ganassi: By This Time

Ian Ganassi By This Time Publisher: Finishing Line Press Publication date: June 14, 2024 Format: Paperback Dimensions: 9 x .22 x 6 inches Weight:  5.1 oz Pages: 92 Language: English ISBN-13: 979-8-88838-475-6 As the book title suggests, the poems are mainly concerned with the passage of time and the assortment of expectations and challenges that come with it. Our personal histories are not segregated in memory but constantly interrupt the continuity of the present, both consciously and unconsciously. And no one can live up to the demands of time without failure. But there is also humor here, which comes to our rescue through lines, poems, and scenarios that make us look at ourselves from a comic perspective. If failure is one natural result of dealing with time as adults in society, humor allows us to see our failures and successes in a wiser light.
