About Night Unto Night:

"A longtime poet of sociopolitical engagement, Martha Collins has been writing at the intersection of public and private subject matters for years. Equally, she has been mining the complexities of language and syntax for wordplay, precision, and multiplicity like no other contemporary American poet I can think of. Night Unto Night continues to explore these interests and approaches, while mortality comes quickly into focus as the book’s overarching subject. In these wrought, pared-down poems we’re given close access to a brilliant and complex mind reaching out and circling back, asserting and complicating, thinking with precision in language about what an individual’s experience can tell us about our larger selves. The work is broad and approachable, even as it arrives through Collins’s idiosyncratic, utterly original approach to the lyric."
