<p><b>Finalist, Raymond Souster Award</b></p><p>In this timely and powerful debut, Síle Englert explores what it is to feel othered in a world where everything is connected. Moving through time and memory &#8212; from childhood to motherhood, from historical figures and events to the precarious environment of the Anthropocene &#8212; Englert’s voice brims with grief while still holding space for whimsy.</p><p>Juxtaposing unlikely metaphors and inchoate memories, these poems wander a timeline where Amelia Earhart’s bones call out from the past, an abandoned department store mannequin keeps an eye on the future, and spacecraft sing to each other through the dark: &#34;we are only what we remember.&#34; Unearthing objects beautiful and bizarre, <i>The Lost Time Accidents</i> challenges the reader’s perceptions, finding empathy for the lost, the broken, and the overlooked.</p>
