The poems in this collection examine how our experience of movement through space is what lends time its dimensionality, from childhood memories of the Cold War to the Julian calendar, making manifest the arc of a complete year-long cycle of both "sacred" and "ordinary" time, returning to our ongoing attempts to guarantee the security of our place in the world. Gil McElroy's poems and other works have been published in countless periodicals throughout North America since the late 1970s, including chapbooks and broadsheets. In 2002 he was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award for Poetry for Dream Pool Essays.
