tic tic tic - Paperback

by Heidi Seaborn (Author)

Silver Medalist in Poetry, Nautilus Book Awards

Heidi Seaborn's tic tic tic is the poetry we need for the time we live in. Both "memoir and protest", tic tic tic begins in the ashes of 2019-a roaring '20s New Year's Eve party gives way to a pandemic, an insurrection, war after war, the possibility of tyranny and the mounting climate crisis. Along the way, the steady change of seasons and tick of time elevate the tension between the urgency of the moment and history's expanse, between an individual's response and the inevitable legacy of collective generations. tic tic tic is a clear-eyed lyric take on the chaos of our times, and an affirmation of the human spirit. A life is lived, a new generation created, faith smolders, love and hope persist.

In a special format, tic tic tic offers poetry for the soul and 23 beautiful and stunning black and white photographs that tell their own story. This is a poetry collection to read, share, and display.
