Sleep : A Poem for Every Quiet Hour of the Night - Allie Esiri

An insightful and empathetic collection of around ninety poems on the topic of sleep (or lack of it), curated by Allie Esiri. A meditative companion for every hour of the night, SLEEPoffers solace, empathy and a dash of humour. If you are awake at 3am, this is the book for you. Arranged in three sections - SLEEP; INSOMNIA (or PSST, ARE YOU AWAKE); and DAWN - the anthology moves through the night, pairing each poem with an illuminating introduction that provides thoughtful context, gentle reflections and companionship for the quiet hours. Bringing together a diverse mix of poems from across centuries and traditions, the collection features poets including Seamus Heaney, Bash�, Wendy Cope, Rita Dove, Philip Larkin, Mary Oliver, Sylvia Plath, Rumi and Lemn Sissay - making SLEEP a book to savour alone or share, night after night.
