At Night

At Night by Ciccarello, Lisa. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781939568090.

A dark and incantatory book of poems filled with cruelty, witchcraft, and retribution, perfect for those enchanted by nightfall and the mysteries that can only be revealed once the sun has set. Often short and fragmented, these poems explore how the living deal with and create death, and what the repercussions are when the dead escape their confines. This book is a shadowy artifact from a fearful place, where you must create any light you hope will guide you. "These poems beg to be read quickly and in the dark." - Columbia Poetry Review At Night was listed as one of Entropys Best Poetry Books & Collections in 2015, as well as LitHubs 30 Must-Read Poetry Debuts From 2015. It was a Powells Staff Top 5 of 2015, and a Top 10 SPD Bestseller in June, September & November of that year. From At Night: The dark is a sun. It is a blinding light. It is a fire that razes the roof to the ground & the tree to the ground & the animals to the ground & the ground to the dirt that holds the ground up. Go now, while there is still something to go to.
