Publisher's Synopsis
Etched in Time is a poetic journey across generations-through memories that linger, lives still unfolding, and dreams that stretch beyond the horizon. Divided into three reflective sections-Ghosts of the Past, Souls of the Present, and Spirits of the Future-this collection invites readers to consider what we inherit, what we carry, and what we leave behind.
With warmth, wit, and hard-won wisdom, James Allen captures the essence of small towns, big dreams, rock & roll radios, and quiet goodbyes. These poems explore family, loss, humor, hope, and the resilience of spirit in the face of change-whether it's aging hands, fading traditions, or the promise of a new generation.
Whether you're paging through nostalgia or holding fast to what's still ahead, Etched in Time reminds us that our stories-like sawdust in the light-linger, shimmer, and speak.
