Featured Work
Who has time for this?
In his debut poetry collection, Michael Favala Goldman invites us into our paradoxical relationship with time, which feels both long and brief. The poems are succinct, ironic, touching, and do not waste the reader's time. Subjects include, among other things, ice skating, mangoes, pinball, skipping stones, and gambling. Goldman draws on his experience as a remodeling carpenter, a jazz musician, a Danish translator, a gardener and a parent, to reveal minute victories and failures, filling time from different perspectives.
