Synopsis

Letters Out of Time is a collection of thoughts and ideas (or poems) reflecting the impressions of a young woman in the sixties. The sixties was a time of great social, sexual and political turmoil, with many similarities to the present. It was dubbed the “Love generation” and women’s rights were becoming recognized as well as many conflicting political factions. The Green Berets, who fought to protect America, were represented as well as CO’s or Conscientious Objectors, who refused to fight in a war, as well as those who left the country and moved to Canada rather than be drafted for the Viet Nam war. Racial tensions were high and riots and protests were part of society. Amidst this landscape of volatility and turmoil, great corporations and big business thrived, the forerunners to the Amazon’s and Googles of the present day. Letters Out of Time is set in this time as a woman is exposed to this culture and trys to find her way in love and a relationship and in the changing and evolving times. Somehow, it seems not that much has changed. The same human conflicts exist today and the same questions survive. Letters Out of Time is a thoughtful and thought provoking examination of the world we live in.
