The Love of a Sleeper is now available at Amazon.com. Follow this link to go right to the page. You can still purchase the book on the Finishing Line site, too. Or come to one of my readings, and I would be happy to sign a copy for you. This weekend, for instance, you can catch me at Canio’s Books in Sag Harbor, NY. (Canio’s is the best bookstore in the world, by the way, and you can order from their website.)
Also, here is another sample poem, for those who want a sneak peek before they buy. It’s called “Luna Moth.”
Late last night,
after my wife had gone to sleep,
the luna moth
showed me her face.
I dropped below
the dark leaves of the oak.
A world of mites and beetles and grubs
insinuated there, like grass,
under the skin,
and when I turned back to the dark window,
where my wife lay still like a book
closed on a night table,
I saw the life I left.
I cried all night as if
I were a train
moving over dangerous terrain
and filled with sleeping passengers.
And if you’re still interested, there is an article on me and the book in this week’s East Hampton/Southampton Press.
