A Walk in Time.: Poetry from Real Life About Love and Death

By Sal Mallimo

It is a wonderfully unique take on the poetry genre and immediately had me intrigued. But it was as I was reading that I realized what a truly talented poet this man is. One of my favorite poems, "Elyseat18," depicts a young girl grieving the loss of her mother, grappling with this new reality without her, all the while growing even closer to her father. Adolescence is a hard time for anybody, let alone someone missing the guidance and love from their mother. But you can see throughout the poem that while she is grieving that loss still, she also sees her father as her constant. Someone who has been and will always be there for her, regardless of any ups-and-downs they have. Who loves her unconditionally. And she is thankful to her mother for picking her father in the first place. It is a tragic yet hopeful poem filled with love and light.
