    About this ebook

    Caged Time is a fast-paced poetical narrative, an intricate blend of reality and fantasies, a trek down a path of sober magical realism.
    Caged Time reflects on fate, survival in a hostile world, the unforgiving compliments of age, death, a warning to future generations!
    Caged Time is rooted in the real events and fantasy, confessions and imagination but when you start to read you’ll be wont to stop for a while, look back at your life and see how your reflective memory and Helen’s observations intertwine.
    But be careful. You may find the author’s mood and unusual turns of phrase, rubbing off on you.

    Helen Kanevsky

    The first short-short story that I wrote in my introductory English class in San Mateo Adult School was about a homeless woman who managed to find a janitor position in a doctor’s office and went shopping in Nordstrom. I always knew how to dream big. Pretty soon I learned that many American success stories were made by poorly equipped people—some college dropouts, some who were mentally or physically disabled. Well, I started to write my beloved poems, prose, and short stories long before I gathered a little ability to speak and be understood. Why not? All those success-story folks didn’t have an MBA or mastered any calculus. It is America after all—nothing stood between me and my vision about the pursuit of happiness. I still didn’t make my first million or even a thousand dollars, but I have published my first book of poems. I hope you will enjoy my narrative and start your own vision about the pursuit of happiness, and when you get rich, please do not forget to buy a few copies of The Devious Route. I would really appreciate it.
