Insomnia: Poems

Insomnia: Poems

<p><strong>Incandescent poems about living and agingۥabout being awake in this young centuryۥby one of our most moving and eloquent poets.</strong></p><p>These poems chart the journeys of sleepless nights when whole lifetimes seem to pass with their stories: loves lost and gained; children and seasons in their phases; and the world beyond, both threatening and enriching life. The time before sleep acts as an invitation to reflect on the world's quieter movementsۥfrom gardens heavy after a first storm to the moon slipping into darkness in an eclipseۥas well as on the subtle but relentless passage of time. <em>Insomnia</em> embodies Linda Pastan's graceful and iconic voice, both lucid and haunting.</p> ---
