Nighttime - Paperback

by Marina Hope Wilson (Author)

"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.
