Sleeping and Waking

by Michael O'Brien

Book Overview

Poetry. SLEEPING AND WAKING moves between states of consciousness and the phenomenal world, finding reciprocities among sleep, dreams, weather, and urban signs. O'Brien's curiosity gets drawn to the edges of everyday life, rendering each local event with concision and exactitude. His poems offer what Ezra Pound calls "luminous details" in glimpsed gestures or overheard vernacular, full of the flaneur's alert attention.
