Lauded by Michael Ondaatje as an ""unforgettable"" writer and praised by The Washington Post for her ability to capture ""the subtlest shades of the emotional palette,"" Eleni Sikelianos now charts the curvature of growth and time, encompassing the bewilderment and delight of a new parent, while mapping the shape of our troubled world. Observing that ""what is alive in the body clock is also ticking,"" her poems and sketches illustrate the infinite possibilities unfurling as minutes give shape to hours, the body gives shape to a child, and events give shape to history.

A California native, longtime New Yorker, and world traveler, Eleni Sikelianos lives in Boulder and teaches at Denver University.

Reviews for Body Clock

One enjoys standing at the sink with Sikelianos. Noticing, perhaps beauty, perhaps decay. -- The California Journal of Poetics
