Through the Basement of Time meditates upon the intersection of human and geologic stories on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. This poetry chapbook distills the experience of a group of (mostly) strangers becoming more than fast friends across two weeks rafting down the river and through pre-Cambrian rock 2,000,000,000 years old. The poems capture images and moments on rapids or in side slot canyons or at campsites, the contrast of high dry heat with the cold Colorado River, as well as ways in which adults shed skins and turn playful, childlike and intimate.
