Inhaltsangabe

Book Structure:
1) Some Julian Days comprises poems that employ the cumulative dating of
the Julian Day system as an overarching structure within which the poetics
of saggital time are evoked.
2) The excerpt from the poem sequence Ordinary Time (an ongoing piece
inspired by Charles Olson's poem "In the Hills South of Capernaum, Port")
works with the structure of the Anglican lectionary and its cycle of daily
and weekly readings (called "propers") from the Hebrew Bible and the New
Testament to manifest the poetry of a portion - an arc, if you will - of
the complete two year-long cycle of readings from sacred texts.
3) Imaginary Time escapes from all of that, deferring both the immediate
contexts of the narrative arrow and eternally cyclic.
