Beginning with the book's title poem. "The Time Clock Zodiac," and closing with a special tip o' the cap to the World Champion New York Yankees, poet Evelyn C. Walsh demonstrates her eclectic tastes and visions in this, her first book of published poetry.
With vivid, illustrious strokes, like an artists on her canvas, Ms. Walsh moves her readers from the whimsical to the heartfelt. Sadness at the death of a loved one is tempered by fireworks going off over a grandiose bridge. Awe-inspiring candlelight services are made even more poignant by the thoughtful logic and philosophy of a lonely road, or a new beginning, or a New York spring day.
Open up The "Time Clock Zodiac" to any page and begin reading. There is a budding relationship about to form. As Evelyn Walsh writes in her poem "Painting with Words," "Forget what are you have not done / But what you'd like to do. / Free yourself from I cannot / To reveal the creative you."
This is one invitation readers should readily accept!
