The Novice Insomniac
The Novice Insomniac | Emily Warn
2 posts | 1 read
The Novice Insomniac is a book of initiations and elegies wherein language becomes a sanctuary and remembrance a way of staving off oblivion. This is a brave and healing collection. --Edward HirschEmily Warn is our sleepless eremite. Her poetry situates and enlivens particular facts in a vision of creation. That makes her, I suppose, a religious poet, but she is also a poet of love and desire, mature in her account of personal pain and responsible in her account of the pain of the collective. Her simplest statements have the force of complex recognitions. --W.S. Di Piero.

I‘m usually early to bed and early to rise, but waking up at 1am is ridiculous! I read a bit of my book and still, I‘m awake. I see a nap in tomorrow‘s plans 😴

What book always puts you to sleep?

Kaye Audiobooks read by Simon Vance. He has such a calm voice it‘s very relaxing listening. Good luck. I‘ve been awake since 2. 😴 7y
SassyBookworm I wish a book would put me to sleep, tho it helps relax me. Only way I can sleep is with help from a muscle relaxer unfortunately. My mind just won‘t stop running! Even worse if I get woke up in the night 😖. Hope you get some rest soon!!😴 7y
