Insomnia: Love Poems

Insomnia: Love Poems . . . In his second collection of poetry, Edward Vidaurre, an emerging voice in Hispanic and Chicano poetry, offers new poems about love, coffee, sleep, and loss inspired by bouts of insomnia, and the vivid dream-like imagery that a lack of sleep creates. With an introduction by award-winning author Katherine Hoerth. Pick up this book on those weird and wonderful nights when it's 2:07 a.m. and the waning echoes of yesterday's shattered dreams and sprightly nightmares reverberate madly against the thickly transparent rays of the moon. In this collection of poems, Edward Vidaurre captures the lingering accusations and celebrations of the night that mingle with the fresh affirmations of the morning through poems filled at times with umbrage and desperation and at others with the sort of devilish charm that has come to define his candid wit. Like a bad dream that won't go away or a good dream that just makes one's day Vidaurre's new collection, Insomnia, rouses us with a twitch and spilt coffee jerk and lulls us with knowing nods to those moments of clarity and opaqueness, of sweetness and acrimony, of haunting realism that can't help but keep us awake for just one more poem.
