Time & Knots (Audio Book)

"A transportational experience." - Hannah V. Warren, LandLocked Magazine

"Strips the concept of linear time away entirely." - L. Favicchia, University of Kansas, writer and poet
Time and Knots is a poetry collection by Sikh poet Taranjit Singh (Narrated, edited and produced by Eryn Michel). The collection is set in the periscope of seasons, rather than chapters: Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring and Void. Reviewers have praised the collection, stating, "I would recommend this poetry book to anyone who loves language, is going through a tough time and is looking for hope, or just enjoys being moved emotionally by poetry. It is one of the best poetry books I have read by far."
Published on Audible in December 2021, the Time and Knots audiobook has drawn listeners in with its artful and stark tone changes between the seasons, each poem a world unto itself, gracefully facilitated by Michel's soothing and malleable voice. After publishing the paperback version of Time & Knots, Singh searched far and wide for a gentle, accessible, impactful voice to bring his words to life in audio format. Singh found it in Michel, a mother, songwriter and U.S. Army Iraq Veteran who had recently expanded her freelance work into audio production and voice over. The two formed an immediate kinship, and they worked together on every line of every poem to ensure Michel's delivery matched Singh's original intention and vision.
Hannah V. Warren, Co-Editor in Chief of LandLocked Magazine, says, "Time & Knots creates a transportational experience--no matter where you are, Singh's poetry will take you to any season with its keen imagery. Singh clearly depicts what it means to live in time, which is the culminating theme of this collection: discovering and interrogating the structural integrity of time and human-crafted constraint."
In one of the final poems, Grateful, Singh invited the voices of all the artists, editors and cherished friends who helped bring Time and Knots to life.
