Track of Time - João Monteiro - Bog

Life as a passage. This anthology of poetry, Track of Time, contains 77 poems which explored themes of ephemerality and permanence.
It's a book about time and its reflexes, cycles and seasons, as moods whose trajectory begins with the notion of "losing the track" but reaches "on time" at the end.
A work summarized by the verses of a brief and flying being: "if you spend your luck/ beholding a bee/ honey is always/ a symbol/ of the sweetest great/ little being".
Poetry helps us remember, after all, that happiness is simple: "like a time/ where'n'ver".
