The book examines how time is our most important asset, and through the lenses of self-identity, love, fatherhood and the finite nature of being, how the memories we develop ultimately are our most precious commodity.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection is a counter-balance to smartphones, the fleeting feelings brought by our technology-driven lives and the impermanence of our closest relationships. It is the bottling of the alpenglow as sons outgrow gloves. Each poem presents a penny for every second left, and those pennies stack up into an infinite oil rig, jacked up way out in the ocean. Because when everything feels like a jumping hour, it's only natural to take our watches apart and hide their pieces around the house. It only feels right to drink the clepsydras dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his effort to balance time and memory, and become a seed and the sun at once, Newman finds the wives we almost lost, and they're putting on lipstick again. He harnesses an hourglass on a string, spinning in the wind. He recognizes the grandfather clock as an elegant weapon, while concurrently putting the atomic clock in a half-nelson as he waits for a bird to fly by so he can turn it back into a fledgling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, in its essence, is the place to save the prior minute's version of oneself and everything that's held dear: Pennies as memories scattered in a mirage off in the distance, and if you squint long and hard enough, they take the shape of a sequoia. It is a must-read for anyone who, through love and loss and a pure willpower to seep in beautiful small moments, lives a full existence to the creeping background sounds of a requiem score.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353339511033,"sku":"9781961451087","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/05cnY0G4f29781961451087.webp?v=1769824543","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/time-billionaire-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
