Resumen del Editor

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 listener 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. Listeners 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.

An enjoyable collection of words and feelings

A handful of standout poems, and if not the whole poem then standout lines. A great read from start to finish!

Phil Kaye is simply amazing...

Phil Kaye has this gifted ability to reach into you and pull out the deepest emotions, in many cases making me feel ways I didn't know existed. It becomes apparent from the very first poem, Kaye is no stranger to sorrow. He makes you feel the sorrow, yet in a welcome way... Almost making you believe that this was the emotion your heart had been craving, without knowing. He has this way of constructing words in such a manner, that you think of things having life that you have never considered before. Absolutely worth the listen, read, or watch. Phil Kaye will simply open your heart in a way you've been missing, while not knowing you've needed.

It's like an union

It's got layers. I'm not really one for poetry but I injoyed this. If I'm feeling down I try to remember 'the appreciation meditation'

Beautiful and Affirming

This is not a book of rhyming poems. And yet...

The saying goes, "History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes." In Date & Time, Phil Kaye guides us through the rhymes and echos of his personal and family history, and in so doing provides us with the opportunity to see that those episodes rhyme not only with each other, but with the episodes of our own lives as well. These moments of his past and his reflections upon them become a hub, connecting us through him to one another.

I read this book when it came out, and I listened to this audiobook version this week of the 2020 US presidential election. It was exactly what I needed - reminding me that we are not alone, that we are not impossibly different, that there is hope.

Thank you, Mr. Kaye, for being in my ear this week and helping me through.
