The Waking Comes Late
The Waking Comes Late | Steven Heighton
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Governor Generals Literary Award finalist and bestselling author Steven Heighton returns with a collection of laments and celebrations that reflect on our struggle to believe in the future of a world that continues to disappoint us. The poet challenges the boundaries of sleep and even death in these meditations on what lies just beneath the surface of contemporary life. These are poems that trouble over the idea of failure even as they continually recommit to the present moment. This is fierce music performed in a minor key.

Some excellent #poems in this collection, particularly Late Couplet, Minor Chords and Ice Eden. Not all spoke to me, but well worth the read. #poetry #outofmycomfortzone ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 stars out of 5.
