Produktbeschreibung

Time Is Standing Still at a Furious Pace is a book of aphorisms. Usually such books are collected from many authors. I wrote the following aphorisms over many years. They are a side product of my poetry. I had a brief look at the manuscript before deciding to publish. The last time I read it was twenty years ago. Reviewing it now, I am surprised to find such a variety of subjects. Especially sayings that are political. My leftist views are intense. Is it not now the time to speak out and use our critical thinking skills to analyze the cleverly constructed memes and half-baked theories that run amok confusing political discourse?

Autorenporträt

Like so many of us, I had a painful childhood. We moved over thirty times before I was eighteen years of age. I fell ill and could not finish high school. In my early twenty's I wrote a prose novella in English and another in French. I submitted these to McGill University English Department and was accepted in an Honours English program. Near the end of the term, I chose to become a hippie. I am proud of it. Western society had become authoritarian, calcified. In France, it was May '68, the student and worker movement. A few years later I further removed myself from society and went to live in a cave off a small island on the sunshine coast. Eventually I married and had children. I took short term research projects. I continued writing, something I began in childhood. Art is our greatest teacher and art is everywhere.
