About The Book

It is “always nighttime” in Deborah Landau’s second collection — a series of linked lyric sequences, including insomniac epistolary love poems to an elusive “someone.” Here is a haunted singing voice, clear and spare, alive with memory and desire, yet hounded by premonitions of a calamitous future. The speaker in this “ghost book” is lucid and passionate, even as everything is disappearing.

“blame the egg blame the fractured stones

at the bottom of the mind”

“blame his darkblue glare and craggy mug

the bulky king of trudge and stein”

“how I love a masculine in my parlor

his grizzly shout and weight one hundred drums”

“in this everywhere of blunt and soft sinking

I am the heavy hollow snared”

“the days are spring the days are summer

the days are nothing and not dead yet”
