Where the Time Goes

It’s been 20 years since the publication of Gale Renee Walden’s first book of poetry, Same Blue Chevy. Walden’s second book of poems, Where the Time Goes, is richly autobiographical as her poetry travels from desert to prairie, childhood to aging and back. Her poems paint a middle America that is familiar and mundane but raised to a mythic plane steeped in the poetic cadences of nostalgia and a life saturated in literature, travel, and family.
