Publisher's Synopsis
"Walking past a mirrored building,
I think of you. The world
without you in it. I wouldn't
recognize my own face."
How do you hold fast to another person, knowing all along you must ultimately let go? Spanning over a decade, the poems in Nighttime examine questions of mortality and the body, identity, nature, and place. Part journal, part survival notes, Nighttime is the story of a daughter and her father; a portrait in reverse. It's a lament, a reckoning, a prayer, an offering.
