Your Time Has Come

By Joshua Beckman Description Reviews Hum of the universeI’m trying to sleep150 extraordinary short lyrics which build a kind of meta-narrative throughout this haunting and powerful book. This collection showcases Beckman’s ability, even within the constraints of a few brief lines, to suggest and sustain emotions, landscapes, humor, and desire. Beckman writes in much the same way that the book asks to be read—flipped through and glanced at, pieces missed and then discovered in a third or fourth reading, the whole collection a new thing every time you pick it up.Olivia Cronk, BookslutNotes, memos, idioms, all cobbled into short short poems packaged in a tiny, beautiful book.
