Description of the Book:
I often find myself looking at myths and stars to feel connected to cultures and the cosmos. Still, sometimes the proper understanding of existence only comes when I am seeking out the main story beyond the narrative of human history to that of Life itself.
Despite being a product of it, it is not easy for us to get a sense of Deep time i.e. the long and fascinating journey from the birth of Earth to our very present moment. The events occurring at a geological time scale (ranging in billion, million, thousand and even hundreds of years) are incomprehensible to our human mind. But what if we could map out the entirety of deep time i.e. the last 4.8 billion years to an imaginable 24 hour day?
The poems series are my attempted tribute to this beautiful grand story. I describe moments at specific timestamps corresponding to prehistorical events as they play across a fictional day in my life, ultimately bringing me a new profound sense of awareness, apprehension and appreciation of life's evolution. So it's through the ticking of time that I hope to tell the tale of "Deep Time in a day".
