Summary
"Whether exploring devotion or eros, Spaar exposes "the hungry wound of wanting" that is central to the human spirit at its most vulnerable. In doing so, she confronts forces we have assumed are irrefutable - among them, sleeplessness, channeled through such figures as Virginia Woolf, Thomas Merton, and the biblical Adam. Spaar is enraptured by the sound of language and the ways in which it brings us closer to ourselves and to our disparate longings."--Jacket.
