Insomnia: Poems - 9780393353754

Incandescent poems about living and agingùabout being awake in this young centuryùby one of our most moving and eloquent poets. 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 movementsùfrom gardens heavy after a first storm to the moon slipping into darkness in an eclipseùas well as on the subtle but relentless passage of time. Insomnia embodies Linda Pastan's graceful and iconic voice, both lucid and haunting.
