The Waking Comes Late collects compact, exacting poems by Steven Heighton that move between lament and celebration. The book reads as a series of meditations on how we meet the present when the future keeps disappointing us.

Heighton's lines test the boundaries of sleep and mortality, turning attention to small failures, stubborn hope and the persistent work of living. The voice is both elegiac and exact—music in a minor key that returns, again and again, to the everyday.

Published by House of Anansi Press, this 84-page paperback offers concentrated lyric work for readers of contemporary and meditative poetry.

  • Themes: sleep, death, failure, resilience
  • Tone: elegiac, incisive, reflective
  • Format: 84 pages, paperback (House of Anansi Press, 2016)

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!

The book was in excellent condition and it arrived in approximately 5 days, much sooner than I had expected. I would definitely recommend this vendor.
