Hour Bookby Stefania Heim (Ahsahta Press, paperback)
Publication Date: January 28, 2019
Publisher Marketing:Poetry. Winner of the Sawtooth Poetry Prize. The devotions, time-stamped lyrics, and prose-poem meditations that make up HOUR BOOK track the simultaneous experience of two significant life eventsa birth and a deathwhile investigating artistic, historical, philosophical, and political constructions of time. Intertexts range from medievalBooks of Hours, to Thomas Hardy’sTess of the D’Urbervilles, to E.P. Thompson’s writings on time and capitalism, to Yoko Ono’s performance art. These poems attempt to make the powerful abstraction of time visceral; to turn time into a room we might enter together and explore.
