From a boy's first acquaintance with nature and the meaning of time to witnessing climate change and desolating wars, Theodore Haddin's poems in The Pendulum Moves Off celebrate the lives of humans and Earth's other animal inhabitants with longing, exuberance, and awakening. Time is in the clock as well as in nature, and our extraction of the natural world diminishes us as well. In truth, "tock and tick" are not forever, but the call of art and music and Haddin's love of rivers in this beautiful and thought-provoking collection remind us of a better way of life we have yet to discover.
