Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. As if responding to Rumi's exhortation, 'Don't go back to sleep, ' Janet MacFadyen writes, 'It's impossible to sleep with so much openness, ' and these poems bristle with synaptic leaps, sonically, imagistically, metaphorically, and with a compassion for sentience--human and non- human. They weep, and water with grace. If your soul is feeling dry, these poems will quench and restore, even in their sidling up next to darkness. Quiet and powerful, a curated record of mind with aesthetic exactitude. Exquisite.--Laura McCullough
