Measuring Time

About the Book

Measuring Time Without a Clock is an exploratory work dedicated to uncovering the many nuances encountered by those laboring with the demands of modern societal structures. Through the use of short essays and unique poetic verse, life’s daily encounters with reality and myth are shaped for the reader so as to engender a meaningful sense of self worth. The Bright, Dark and Other sides of civilization are traced to their roots. This book should be read by candlelight, accompanied by a glass of wine and perhaps a violent thunderstorm.

Jack Marshall, author of Long Shadows at Noon, hails from Michigan and currently resides in Virginia Beach, Virginia. “Life, and our eternal quest for inner peace,” he suggests, “is too often blurred by the passage of time and need to feed our hungry egos.”
