The poems \"guide us with their empathy, sometimes yoked with a wry irony, around the physics of interactions.\" [John Kinsella] More than anything, this is a book about \u003ci\u003epresence\u003c\/i\u003e: haunted by the past yet firmly rooted in the also-haunting now, Coles keeps spinning, finding herself in words, in her body, in time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTime and Chance\u003c\/i\u003e is Katharine Coles's tenth collection of poems.
