Reporting from Night

Reporting from Night (ePub edition)

$9.99

By Kateri Lanthier

The surreal flowering of memory at night, the sleep-deprived thought patterns of a mother of small children, the inventiveness of a child’s-eye view and the restless brain at 4:00 a.m. all converge in Reporting from Night. With subtle wit and a delight in wordplay, these distilled, sensuous poems explore the nature of memory and the often surprising coexistence of the urban and the wild.

Product Description

Why Reporting from Night? The title connects to the time when Kateri usually writes — at night, in fragments, sometimes in a fog — and to the sleep deprivation experienced by  parents of young children. It has a provocative, sexy side, alluding to her time as a downtown girl prowling clubs, galleries, and parties and to how she remembers that now. As in the downtown streets at night, there’s a dark, hallucinatory feel. Yet there’s also the lightness and invention of a child’s-eye view. Mix those elements, and you get imagistic poems that play at the edges of eroticism, exploring the tensions and pleasures of the natural world growing within the city, by day and night.
