In this masterful companion to \u003ci\u003eDay Unto Day\u003c\/i\u003e, Martha Collins finds common ground between contradictions--beauty and horror, joy and mortality, the personal and the political. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Like its predecessor, the daybook of \u003ci\u003eNight Unto Night\u003c\/i\u003e begins with time. Its six sequences, each written in one month a year, over the course of six years, bring together the natural and the all-too-human. Red-winged blackbirds and the death of a friend. The green leaves of a maple tree and drones overseas. A February spent in Italy and the persistence of anti-immigrant rhetoric. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Dissonance is a permanent state, Collins suggests, something to be occupied rather than solved. And so this collection approaches its transcendence in the space between these seeming contrasts--and in the space between stanzas, sequences, days, and months. These poems are powerfully alive, speaking to and revising each other, borrowing a word or a line before turning it on end. We are doomed to repeat mistakes, seasons, wars, words. Yet redemption beckons, too, in the persistence of empathy and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Martha Collins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660150894748,"sku":"9781571314895","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_239cd1f2-149e-4375-bf44-cd496f43c899.jpg?v=1603896208","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/night-unto-night-poems-9781571314895","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
