Insomnia: Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Incandescent poems about living and agingabout being awake in this young centuryby 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 movementsfrom gardens heavy after a first storm to the moon slipping into darkness in an eclipseas well as on the subtle but relentless passage of time. Insomnia embodies Linda Pastan's graceful and iconic voice, both lucid and haunting.
