Description

Peter Weltner's Unbecoming Time is a poignant collection of poetry that explores the complexities of time and its impact on human experience. In this deeply moving work, Weltner finds language to be "betrayed by lies spouted each moment in every known tongue," yet he dares to use it as a means of revelation, allowing the world's singular things to reveal themselves. Weltner's temporal horizon is marked by two opposing forces: the relentless flow of time, which brings only loss and longing, and the desire to momentarily halt its passage, preserving the preciousness of the past. These poems are compassionate yet melancholic epiphanies that acknowledge the passing of life and love, while seeking forgiveness and connection in the face of mortality. This collection is a powerful exploration of our relationship with time, one that seeks to quiet the chatter of the world and listen to the silence of the past.
