Join Confluence Poet Julianne Seeman for the debut of her new poetry collection, Make Up for Lost Time.

In this collection of poignant poems, Julianne Seeman returns to her childhood and youth to re-member, to put back the pieces of a well-lived life. She reminds us that memory “winds intricate” as train track and that to return is to “make maps” in order to “find what is left.” This is a poet brave enough to learn the hard lessons of life: “The years do that, the way they scar” and “dull the finish”—and generous enough to offer hope: “Even if barn doors open” and “much of life is gone, there’s light / enough to find what’s left inside.” (Cindy Williams Gutierrez)
