What is time? Our understanding of it changes, between when the
angels rejoiced at the incarnation to when Einstein and then
Feynman reconceived it. In the strange, unregulated and
disorienting world of the web we experience it in new ways, its
predictabilities wrested from us. In Mary O'Malley's Demeter and
Persephone sequence, time is experienced through generations, but
the new gods play differently and spin the clock hands in their own
mischievous ways. New generations find the time-patterns and
expectations of their predecessors arcane and incomprehensible, and
vice versa. Through mythology and ecology, this book sets out to
restore connections. The book opens with oranges orbiting a winter
kitchen. Time in its dozen guises moves through the poems, as does
fate. Mary O'Malley was appointed 2019 Writer Fellow at Trinity
College Dublin.
