“Look out! Elizabeth Morse’s brilliant kinetic poetry is coming in The Color Between the Hours! Razor sharp images of family, lovers, and cats abound; sleep, time, and work are masterfully deconstructed. This poetry alarms and consoles, is both the daily and the future, lulls and awakens. Read this poetry for a new, wry perspective on life and love from a unique and essential voice, a narrator you would want as a friend. But look out for the surprise endings and the changes they may make in you! Read on!“
–Larissa Shmailo, author of Dora/Lora

 

These are poems, as Elizabeth Morse says, of “love and loss.” Constructed of abbreviated conversations and glimpsed images, the poems take us through a lifetime completely lived. We move from memories to realities, from hope to fear, from intimacy to letting go. Tying things together are the colors one associates with various feelings, and the hours one spends to good advantage—or not. Morse brings a keen sense of empathy and observation to these verses, and opens our eyes to situations we might miss—but should take time to see.
–Thaddeus Rutkowski, author of Tricks of Light

“The Color Between the Hours” speaks to romantic love flirting with disaster, loss beyond reason and crime (white collar and otherwise). Addressing the reader as “you,” the work explores inner landscapes. Whether it is a woman contemplating her mother’s fate while microwaving dinner, or a person working as a psychic because it’s required to collect welfare, the poems embrace a reality that is unique and universal at the same time. In these poems, haunted individuals confront danger and occasionally the miraculous. Irony abounds, and last lines will often surprise the reader.

Elizabeth Morse is a poet who lives in New York’s East Village. Her work has been published in literary magazines such as Blue Mesa Review, Hazmat Review, Mudfish, Lynx Eye, Home Planet News, and Freezer Burn and anthologies such as Crimes of the Beats and The Unbearables Big Book of Sex. Her poetry chapbook, The Future Is Now, was published by Linear Arts Press. She has her MFA from Brooklyn College and supports her poetry with a job in information technology.
