Out of Time Helen Rabbats

Time waits for no man or woman. If only. If only we knew how our life evaporates away like frost in the sun, before we have time to realise. Holding a mirror up to life and twenty-first-century society, this observant collection of poetry looks at the passing of time, and the various ills that come with it hormonal imbalances, nostalgia for old black-and-white photographs, memories of lost ones as well as the ills of the society that we live in, whether it be child obesity or our inability to speak to strangers on public transport. With a sometimes satirical edge, these poems are sure to provoke thought and bring a smile to any reader who has the time to indulge.
