ALL THE TIME MORE THAN ANYTHING
debut poetry collection - Finishing Line Press
Emily Zogbi's debut poetry collection, all the time more than anything, is now available for pre-order at Finishing Line Press, between June 20 and August 18.
all the time more than anything is an interrogation of memory and ghosts, family and time, magic and fear. While some poems speak to Janis Joplin and Emily Dickinson, others hear from Medea and Kitty Genovese. The book is populated by a chorus of women, talking all at once, who appear at the supermarket, on the beach, in a 7-11 parking lot, waiting for someone to come home, or hoping no one comes home at all. all the time more than anything explores the voices and people we collect across generations, be it through mental illness, trauma, grief, recipes, remedies, or stories. The poems sit with a variety of ghosts—the therapist, the mother, the mentor, the killer—but one voice rings through the clutter: a lonely speaker, tasked with becoming herself.
