n. 1. The act or process of recollecting past experiences or events. 2. An experience or event recollected: "Her mind seemed wholly taken up with reminiscences of past gaiety" and tales from life experience. The free-verse flows with a nonchalant non·cha·lant adj.

[French, from Old French, present participle of nonchaloir, to be unconcerned : non-, eye for detail, deftly capturing human lives, settings, and struggles in the flash of an instant. "The City of Poets: 1966": The young poet didn't have a nickel to his name, but when / He sat down for supper in the communal kitchen / With a pizza ordered from outside and Help, / The latest Beatles album, and a coil of rope in a sack, / No one thought to ask him, What's your plan? |
