SAY YES TO TIME

About the Book

The author hopes this latest collection of poems, "Say Yes To Time", will reveal a positive approach to life, to say "yes" to the evolution of everything. "We have come a long way since the Big Bang and we have so far to go", is her pep talk. We all need to compose on the canvas of existence together, in the very best way our understanding will allow. After publishing her eight books of poetry (Red Daughters in a Foreign Spotlight, Soul Beans, Zoom Lens, Double Decked Nature, Gravel Pit on the Moon, Rocks on the Road, Poems of Gratitude, and Written Rhythms of Space Travel and Earthly Things), the author, Marleen Rita Duckhom, has written yet another moving forward masterpiece, "Say Yes To Time". In this volume of poems, she includes many topics but she resists calling them anecdotes. Although there may be a method to her madness, she may be conveying a message to share her positive approach to looking at our aging solar system and galaxy and arrange that prospect to an evolving perspective of ourselves while we're still here. It is an interesting journey requiring light-hearted attendance in the class called outer space.

About the Author

Flapping Soul, Words in Verse is Marleen Rita Duckhorn’s tenth published collection of poems. Her topics are as varied as one might expect from the active mind of such a prolific writer, but in this book she mainly focuses on the different situations and aspects of the soul itself. She is bold at times, speaks her mind and can be humorous. It is the strength that gives her work appeal and makes her voice worth hearing. The topics in between make for an engaging read with just the right use of phrases Duckhorn has a special knack for. Her style is singularly refreshing. You will feel like she is talking to you, it is believable, and truths are told. She exudes in her work a passion hard to deny. Her use of meditation to muse in on the subjects at hand is quite obvious. This reflects upon all her close observations on any subject she writes about. This is the poet’s favorite book and she hopes you enjoy it too.
