Temporium

<p>According to Kelly Cherry <em>Temporium</em> is something like but not altogether like a short-story collection because not all of these pieces are stories. Nor is this a collection of prose poetry though one or two entries may come close to that. At least a few of them are more like mini-essays though perhaps they are not essays either. What they are—these bits and pieces—is moments of time and I have arranged them more or less chronologically. I think of the book as a museum curating harboring or displaying the moments collected herein. Hence the title.</p>
