The Time of the Angels

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of 1979, a young woman's deep engagement with Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte D'Arthur' serves as both academic research and personal reflection. As she navigates themes of chance, destiny, and the nature of time, she feels a profound sense of loss echoing through the text. The historical context of societal strife and an impending election subtly influences her thoughts, while the eternal reign of Arthur juxtaposes the inevitability of its tragic conclusion. The poems explore the tension between knowledge and uncertainty in the passage of time.
