Centered on recurring themes of sleep and sleeplessness, this delicate collection of poetry explores the nuances of human relationships. Beginning provocatively with a "translation" of Shakespeare's 18th sonnet, the poems offer witty, tender, and lyrical reflections on the intricate suffusion of desire within both private and public forms of expression. Exploring the consequences of passion, this heartfelt work captures the exuberance--and struggle--of human love.
