Sometimes the night is like dark water.
These poets, their words and these songs evoke the feeling and space around the things that might keep us awake in the small hours. That place where the fight of thought comes in from the edges of everything.
Each of these poems are as varied as the poets themselves and the country they tread. All have held me awake when the night pours over and kept me thinking, wondering, humming or weeping. Riding along the jagged edges of ideas, emotions and points of view is a great place to be.
