Forward-looking and trenchant, War in the Time of Love resists easy analysis. There are many ways to approach reality, but in these micro fictions – prose poems? – even if no one claims credit for the “the worst of the terror, ” Quimby provides us with lived-in and transcendent experience which grows richer with every close examination.
Len Quimby lives in a cabin over looking a kettle pond in eastern Penobscot County, Maine. He has worked construction, fishing, and most recently blueberry cultivation. War in the Time of Love is his first novella.
