I Smell Truffles, Tulips and Time, by Chickie Temidayo, is a quietly clever and contemplative book of rhyming poetry, that gorgeously explores: 
 
the fleeting passage of time, 
the resplendency of nature, 
the Black American experience, 
the wistful state of loss; 
and the graceful fluidity of life.
 
A flawless intermingling of lyrical musicality, honeyed soul and never-ending nostalgia, I Smell Truffles, Tulips and Time is for the wildly imaginative child in all of us, who decided to never leave our side.
