Date & Time

Phil Kaye2018
Phil Kaye’s debut collection is a stunning tribute to growing up, and all of the challenges and celebrations of the passing of time, as jagged as it may be. Kaye takes the reader on a journey from a complex but iridescent childhood, drawing them into adolescence, and finally on to adulthood. There are first kisses, lost friendships, hair blowing in the wind while driving the vastness of an empty road, and the author positioned in the middle, trying to make sense of it all. Readers will find joy and vulnerability, in equal measure. Date & Time is a welcoming story, which freezes the calendar and allows us all to live in our best moments.

This is a poet I just discovered this morning through the YouTube channel ”button poetry”. His performance really blew me away and I felt like I had to read one of his poetry books. I liked it and some of the poems hit me straight in the heart, but after seeing him perform his poetry himself and then reading it felt like two completely different things too me. Although the poetry in the book was okey it was nothing compared to his own performances. My absolute favorite poem of his is “My Grandmother’s ballroom” I almost get a bit teary-eyed just thinking about it.
