About this item
by Joanna Klink (Author)
In They Are Sleeping, Joanna Klink tests the limits of solitude, setting her poems in places where our grip on "self" is loosened and blurred--caves, coastlines, rooms in cities. As her poems lead us through these sometimes beautiful, sometimes appalling internal landscapes, characters like the Hanged Man and the Lady of Situations reappear, often locked in misunderstanding but compelling us toward a more fragile and expansive sense of self.
