商品簡介
Time, Love and Other Maladies In this piercingly honest collection, poet Armando Heredia confronts the relentless passage of time and its haunting grip on love, memory, and identity. With rhythmic urgency and raw lyricism, Heredia unravels the universal "maladies" that define our humanity: the deception of nostalgia, the embers of fading love, the weight of regret, and the quiet terror of mortality. From the hypnotic chant of "Time Lies The Most"-where perception and deception collide-to the aching tenderness of "That Ramirez Song," Heredia crafts verses that pulse like a heartbeat. He resurrects the "golden days" of youth through a tapestry of borrowed rock anthems ("This Time Is Different"), mourns moments "burning by" ("The Days Are Burning By"), and questions the very essence of self in an era of fleeting fame ("What Time Is It Now?"). In "Heading West," a highway becomes a metaphor for life's unplanned journey-where detours shape us, and the setting sun whispers of home. The collection closes with the stark, existential whisper of "Closer Than," leaving readers breathless before the encroaching unknown. Time, Love and Other Maladies is more than poetry; it's a mirror held to the soul's deepest tremors. Heredia's words are at once a lament for what slips away and a clarion call to grasp the present. For anyone who has ever wondered where the time went, loved against the odds, or stared into the twilight of their own story-this collection is your anthem.
