In this masterful companion to \u003cem\u003eDay Unto Day\u003c\/em\u003e, Martha Collins finds common ground between contradictions--beauty and horror, joy and mortality, the personal and the political.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its predecessor, the daybook of \u003cem\u003eNight Unto Night\u003c\/em\u003e begins with time. Its six sequences, each written in one month a year, over the course of six years, bring together the natural and the all-too-human. Red-winged blackbirds and the death of a friend. The green leaves of a maple tree and drones overseas. A February spent in Italy and the persistence of anti-immigrant rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDissonance is a permanent state, Collins suggests, something to be occupied rather than solved. And so this collection approaches its transcendence in the space between these seeming contrasts--and in the space between stanzas, sequences, days, and months. These poems are powerfully alive, speaking to and revising each other, borrowing a word or a line before turning it on end. We are doomed to repeat mistakes, seasons, wars, words. Yet redemption beckons, too, in the persistence of empathy and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 157131489X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/02\/2018","brand":"Martha Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985168892159,"sku":"9781571314895","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21ba03d2-a94a-48b2-a131-9a9efa082233.jpg?v=1683275958","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/night-unto-night-martha-collins-9781571314895","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
