The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being duration. Time is the type of concept that can be either solid or malleable giving one the impression that time can be controlled in one way or another. There are lost times, wasted times and good times. Time is the one quantity that we know for sure to be limited, yet we never tire of wishing for more time. It is also the one idea that always reminds us of our finitude. The poems attempt to capture some of these moments.
