Description

Why Reporting from Night? The title of this first collection refers to the surreal night flowering of memory and imagination. In these imagistic, playful poems, the sleep-deprived thought patterns of a mother of small children, the inventiveness of a child’s-eye view and the restless brain at 4:00 a.m. all converge. With subtle wit, teasing sensuality and lyrical brightness, these distilled poems explore the provocative nature of memory and the often surprising coexistence of the urban and the wild, by day and night.
