The Night Won't Wait: Glimpses of the Great Pause

More about the book

Poetry embalms our wounds and shines new light into ordinary lives. People have turned to its powers since time immemorial when both science and the heavens fail to console. The Night Won't Wait is a collection of contemporary poems in the sense that they deal with the Great Pause, as we have termed our condition. But they are universal in the sense that they raise fundamental questions about our entire species, taking the pandemic as a take-off point.
