Echoes in Time A Collection of Poetic Works

By Benita Glickman

Carl Sandburg described poetry as "an echo asking a shadow to dance." It's a beautiful metaphor in which the poet offers the reader his heart and soul, hoping he'll engage with the poem. Together, they create a dance of reflection and memories. Benita Glickman's memories surface in her daily life. She remembers the aromas that wafted through her childhood kitchen and the warmth of sitting on her Bubbe's lap. Her mother's voice, a lighthouse of love and instruction, remains deeply etched on her heart. Her life with Joseph, her love and soulmate, and the dreams and messages he sends from beyond the veil-soulful memories, supportive and caring, accompanied by welcome guidance-transcend time and space. A rich tapestry of poetry resides within the pages of her book, Echoes in Time: A Collection of Poetic Works. In a delicate interplay of various forms of poetry-haiku, minimalist verse, cinquain, limerick, rhyming verse, and free verse, Benita delves into life's themes from the contemplative musings on writing and the raw beauty of nature, to the poignant moments of coming of age, falling in love, aging, death, grief, and the mysteries of eternal life. Penned with heartfelt emotions, the collection offers reflection and solace to those seeking mindfulness, acceptance, and validation. Share Benita's experiences and hear the echoes of her heart and soul as you revisit and reflect upon your own moments, embrace them, and uncover their deeper meanings, bringing your unique tapestry of memories and dreams to light.
