Time Capsules
From the author: How do you capture a life in objects? How do still time? As an exercise in answering these questions, I started drafting “Time Capsules” every morning. Within days, I had over 30, many of which will appear as a section in my forthcoming collection Crawling Across the Continuum. “Tax Return, 1958” and “Ultrasounds, 1988, 1990, 1994” mark my birth and those of my three children. And as a pair, bridge generations and time.
