Insomnia: Poems

Synopsis

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 Movements--from Gardens Heavy After A First Storm To The Moon Slipping Into Darkness In An Eclipse--as Well As On The Subtle But Relentless Passage Of Time. Insomnia Embodies Linda Pastan's Graceful And Iconic Voice, Both Lucid And Haunting. Counting Sheep -- Ship's Clock -- Musings Before Sleep. Linda Pastan.
