Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Michael O'Brien's Sleeping and Waking moves between states of consciousness and the phenomenal world, finding reciprocities among sleep, dreams, weather, and urban signs. His curiosity gets drawn to the edges of everyday life, rendering each local event with concision and exactitude. His poems offer what Ezra Pound calls "luminous details" in glimpsed gestures or overheard vernacular, full of the flaneur's alert attention.
From the Inside Flap
"Over the years O'Brien has pared his poetry to essentials. He shapes this matter in many forms, and the resulting music is declarative, terse, and elegant. No ornament blurs the reader's intense pleasure." William Corbett
