Seasons

"Katie Proctor''s Seasons is a collection of temporal elegant epiphanies well suited to a pandemic plagued culture. In Firsts," Proctor writes of the knowledge that shadows such experiences- ''knowing nothing will ever be quite like this again.'' She speaks of distanced lovers imagining touching flesh and pressing flowers of the other''s hometown into a book. The tactile details of this collection are timely in their taunts of the ''melted endlessness.'' Proctor describes in ''An Empty Infinity.'' It is both a precise description of the condition we are experiencing in the Covid era as well as a reminder that this is but another uncomfortable season that will eventually succumb to another."
