Coles The Sleep of Reason at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
2014 Pulitzer Finalist in Poetry American poet Morri Creech won the very first Anthony Hecht Prize with Field Knowledge in 2006. His follow-up, The Sleep of Reason , is a lyrical examination of liminal states of consciousness and experience - the shadowy terrain between sleep and waking, dream and nightmare, life and death, history and the present moment. The collection includes a surprising take on Keats' 'Ode to a Nightingale', and a dark meditation on the perils of the sublime. The Sleep of Reason explores the anxieties, horrors and dreams that flash just beneath the surface of the waking mind, combining formal elegance and an acknowledgment of literary tradition with a fresh, contemporary voice. "What's especially impressive is Creech's sense of pacing and musicality, lost in some contemporary poetry; lines like 'At daybreak light falls / through a thin gap in the curtains / like meaning drawn tight on a shivering thread' reveal a lovely mastery of craft.... A poet to watch and, for poetry devotees, certainly to read."
Library Journal (US) "Morri Creech's [previous collection] Field Knowledge has given me more pleasure than any book I have read in years."
