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","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999569494167,"sku":"9781571314895","price":787.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781571314895.webp?v=1783601064","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/night-unto-night-poems-9781571314895","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
