POETRY: Is it conceivable that all time happens at once, and "everything is everywhere"? Kevin Acers explores this question in Simultaneous Everything. While not every poem touches directly on this theme, at frequent intervals its head bobs to the surface as if to take a look around.

Prepare to encounter highly original poems (sometimes surreal, sometimes lyrical, sometimes both) reflecting on grief, nature, perceptions, ambivalence, and joy, written with the adroit phrasing and humor that Kevin Acers' readers have come to expect.
