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)
