Description
Sherod Santos' Square Inch Hours is a poetic meditation that explores the intersection of reality and imagination. Through intense sensory perception, he captures moments in time, from the minute particulars of everyday life to the fragments of memory.
With adamant attentiveness, the speaker turns his focus to the world around him, finding beauty in the ordinary and piecing together the shards of experience that follow a breakdown. This is a deeply personal work, one that seeks to reconnect with the world through the careful observation of its smallest details.
The title Square Inch Hours reflects the poet's desire to capture each moment, as if it were a photograph in a square frame. The result is a collection of poems that are both deeply introspective and profoundly observant of the human experience.
