Larger awarenesses ripple ever more outward, and ever more inward, as the poems of Susan Nisenbaum Becker's LITTLE ARCHITECTS OF TIME AND SPACE take their graceful shape. "From meditations on a female mummy, to watching American Idol with a woman struggling with cancer, the poems in LITTLE ARCHITECTS OF TIME AND SPACE bear witness to the human condition. Susan Nisenbaum Becker is a master of both clarity, and generosity, for these are poems that show us ourselves, and love us in spite of ourselves. Indeed, LITTLE ARCHITECTS OF TIME AND SPACE is not just a book that heals us, but wants to kiss 'the entire world at once'."-Kevin Goodan "If one defines eroticism as the sensuality of awe and tenderness, then LITTLE ARCHITECTS OF TIME AND SPACE is an erotic collection in the very best sense. These poems are the celebrational lyrics of the flesh: one's own, one's lover, that of the dead. With graceful recklessness, Nisenbaum Becker extends her lush reverence to the repugnant as well as to the beautiful. The panoply of creation that constitutes our world-a mummy from an ancient tomb, a swift coyote, a water lily, the intriguing growth of a cancer-are all cast in the same splendid, troubling light."-Frannie Lindsay
