This week I take a look at the poem Chronos by Nick Laird. Laird crafts a poem which all at once combines the gravitas of the classics with jarring modern flair. He touches on the universal theme of raging against time, which is a well worn path in the realm of poetry. That being said he still manages to make the theme uniquely his own.
