Eve in the Time Machine - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Eve in the Time Machine explores themes of walls and divisions—cultural, political, death/life, and personal—mediated by memory, which the poet attempts to address by drawing on ancient Orthodox Christian wisdom. A foundational
filter is the poet’s unhappy encounter with Soviet power in the Glasnost years.

"The narrator at the end of Elizabeth Scott Tervo’s poem, “Night,” says: “Isn’t there always the message: we are going, and there is a way for us to go?” The poems in Eve in the Time Machine evidence this question like lanterns lit for a journey, and readers of the collection —encountering parables, history, elegies, proverbs, stories of saints, and enigmatic fables—
will in such light find themselves traveling blessedly through darkness and into mystery.
— Matt Malyon Poet, Teacher,
Director of Underground Writing

“Elizabeth Tervo weaves a fine and intricate fabric of words, combining threads of beauty, joy, sorrow, and deep theology into a luxurious garment of poetry.”
— Inga Leonova Editor-in-chief, The Wheel

“Honest and vulnerable, with lovely imagery and startling turns of phrase, this poetry collection is a glimpse into the mind of a contemplative poet and original thinker. The reader is taken on an interior journey through worship and lament, temptation and choice, ultimately examining the mechanics of one woman’s search for meaning. May it be blessed, and so bless others.”
— Laura Wolfe author, Sascha and the Dragon,
Patterns for Life, and The Lion & the Saint
