Description

John Updike’s first collection of verse since Midpoint takes its title from a poem about insomnia. Throughout, this is poetry with its eyes wide open, restlessly alert for the oddities of reality and the double entendres of imagination.

Excerpt

But nothing happens, not even oblivion. Life can be too clean. Success like a screeching of brakes Pollutes the tunnel of silence.
