Almanac of Reckoning

By Sandra Salinas Newton

Book Overview

ALMANAC OF RECKONING is a collection of lyrics that charts the intersections between observation and experience, memory and desire, loss and consequence. Its poems resonate with the sights and sounds of nature viewed through the human emotions of passion, grief, and remorse. Despite what this poetry asserts about the generally sad condition of life, it nevertheless acknowledges that there is much to be learned - and thus, celebrated - about ourselves. As long as we have a voice to say, "This is the worst," the very utterance of that voice contradicts itself, because our power to recognize our faults and weaknesses is the reckoning that leads us to redeem ourselves.
