{ "item_title" : "Cavorting with Time", "item_author" : [" Jacqui Malins", "Caren Florance "], "item_description" : "Cavorting with Time is a series of poems about female ageing and mortality. Jacqui Malins shares them here as a work in progress, a script that will develop and mature over time, gathering notes and annotations with each new presentation. She has performed variations of it solo, with musical accompaniment, and now it performs on the page.In this sequence of poems, Jacqui Malins negotiates andrenegotiates her relationship with time and its effects on the bodyand mind. Time is a complex presence: variously a musician, adance partner, a tattooist, an adversary to be gripped and wrestled,the turner of a cosmic crankhandle, a pair of cupped hands waitingto catch us at the end of consciousness, and more. Malins bearsclear-eyed and nuanced witness to the ravages and caresses of ourconstant companion, 'Time, our sister' while gazing calmly at'Death, who walks with her.' An experience you will not forget.Melinda SmithWinner, 2014 Prime Minister's Literary Award for Poetry", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/64/825/791/0648257916_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.95", "online_price" : "12.95", "our_price" : "12.95", "club_price" : "12.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
