While the ninety-six-year-old poet’s personal life and that of her family remains stable, the world suffers increasing turmoil-be it war, displacement, or threats to our democracy. Laurel Feigenbaum’s poems of time and place reflect her observations, thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the crosscurrents of events over the recent decade. Politics, advancing technology, climate change, a lingering virus, family and aging are all topics she tackles in Life in No Ordinary Time with her trademark wit and poetic voice.'Wildfires and calving glaciers, war mongers, cryptocurrency, woke culture, unchecked technocracy, a demented demagogue, the surveillance state, the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer-the dreary earmarks of our zeitgeist seem endless. Laurel Feigenbaum takes them on with the perspicacity of her 96 years on earth and her trademark wit, dry as a three-olive martini. Her Life in No Ordinary Time is a savvy, bracing, and thankfully entertaining antidote to our time, our place.'-Thomas Centolella, author of Almost Human'What a fullness! Wry twists of humor add just the right touch to these meditations of a sharp, connected, sophisticated, knowledgeable, intrigued and intriguing little-old-lady, and detail a life worth living in its accumulated wisdoms and happinesses.'-Doreen Stock, author of Bye Bye Blackbird
