roundhouse clock by Ron Scully

“Questions about time have persisted since, well, the beginning of time. Roundhouse Clock, the intriguing new book by Ron Scully, explores different aspects of time. You’ll learn that not only does the future create the past and the past contains the future, each moment holds a multiplicity of other moments. The author seamlessly weaves his storyline in a deceptively easy-going manner, using a variety of short-form poems. Once you may have thought time could stand still, but in fact, it’s eppur Si muovo.”

— Peter Jastermsky, Author of As Clear As It’s Ever Been

About the Author:

Ron Scully is a very retired bookseller. After half a lifetime on the road, an authentic Willy Loman only funnier, he relocated from New England and settled in the Pacific Northwest to read and write. He practices haiku daily and has published widely in short form journals. He is the author of over half a dozen chapbooks, most recently needful things (Buttonhook Press, 2024), bureau of weights and measures (Half Day Moon Press, 2024), and the river: a suite of micropoems (Origami Poems Project, 2025). Currently, he is working on the play of his lifetime and researching the possibility of a sports literature anthology. Otherwise, his grandchildren help keep the neurons firing.
