Ardent, intimate poems by a bold poet of sensual and spiritual life . . .Miriam Levine's Forget about Sleep portrays the gifts and perils of aging as she remembers lost lovers, friends, beloved family, and celebrates treasured places and the near and dear still alive. These bold poems of sensual and spiritual life move from gritty Northern New Jersey to New England and Florida, from interior spaces to landscapes and the gardens she tends.
This compilation of short poems is a peephole into my life. Existence makes for great writing material. Every poem in this book is a reflection of an experience I had. Take what you want from them, leave the rest behind.
Winner of the 2007 Autumn House Press Poetry Contest, selected by Mark Doty.
To Miriam Levine, "devotion" implies love and self-creation; to her mother's generation, it meant martyrdom and self-denial. The domain of this memoir is the interval between those attitudes. Affirming her deep connection to people, Levine tells of the adventures and dangers of her emergence as a woman writer.
