Hallelujah Time, Poetry
“Urgent, whip-smart—each poem opens like shaken champagne.”
—John Emil Vincent
“Konchan’s audacious, sophisticated, and valiant poems, fueled by their honest failure to outwit mourning, are a revelation.”
—Catherine Wagner
”Poem after poem in Hallelujah Time gathers together all kinds of different velocities and intensities—and, just like the aphorism, one must not simply read them once; one must not merely read, one must ruminate, upon them . . . over and over again.”
—Kevin Spicer
“Her work is flamboyant, but underlying the glitz is a serious engagement with how we create meaning out of a welter of experiences and influences.”
—Barb Carey, Toronto Star
"Anchored in a tone that balances personal perspective and intellectual relativity, Konchan's poems are able to twist from frivolity to striking wisdom, turn from comedic imagery to aphorisms on life and death, without sacrificing their emotional core."
