Quale Press, paperbackPublication Date: December 4, 2025Publisher Marketing: Written between October 2020 and October 2021, this long poem/journal/improvisation records in one long rush a year's worth of observations and events. Torra's eyes and ears pull in everything about life that comes his way — Covid, a presidential election, teaching, fatherhood, family, food, writing, art, music, the urban environment, dreams, and a growing interest in the Tao. In keeping open to everything, he attunes the reader to the art of living according to the Tao. Time Being II reflects Torra's compression of a year into a rhythmic distillate. Show more
