Overview

ALMANAC OF RECKONING is a collection of lyrics that charts the intersections between observation and experience, memory and desire, loss and consequence. Its poems resonate with the sights and sounds of nature viewed through the human emotions of passion, grief, and remorse. Despite what this poetry asserts about the generally sad condition of life, it nevertheless acknowledges that there is much to be learned - and thus, celebrated - about ourselves. As long as we have a voice to say, ""This is the worst,"" the very utterance of that voice contradicts itself, because our power to recognize our faults and weaknesses is the reckoning that leads us to redeem ourselves.

She will also be publishing a second chapbook in the coming months. A list of her publications is available on her website, https: //s-newton.com/about-the-author/ Dr. Newton, now retired, has taught English composition, literature, media, and film at various colleges throughout her thirty year-plus career and even pioneered the teaching of composition on computers at one institution in the 1990s. She has lived in various places in the world, but her heart remains with New York City where she was born and raised; her novel, Inevitable, recreates that city as it was in the mid 1960s for a pair of unusual lovers.
