After starting in the bayous of his familys Louisiana, Young journeys to further states of mind in All Souls, evoking The whale / who finds the shore / & our poor prayers. Another central sequence, The Two-Headed Nightingale, is spoken by Millie-Christine McCoy, the famous conjoined African American Carolina Twins. Born into enslavement, stolen, and then displayed by P. T. Barnum and others, the twins later toured the world as free women, their alto and soprano voices harmonizing their own way. Youngs poem explores their evolving philosophical selfhood and pluralities: As one we sang, /we spake / She was the body / I the soul / Without one / Perishes the whole.<br />In Darkling, a cycle of poems inspired by Dantes <em>Divine Comedy</em>, Young expands and embroiders the circles of Hell, drawing a cosmology of both loneliness and accompaniment, where the dead dont know / what to do / with themselves. Young writes of grief and hope as familiar yet surprising states: Its like a language, / loss, he writes, learnt only / by livingthere. Evoking the history of poetry, from the darkling thrush to the darkling plain, Young is defiant and playful on the way through purgatory to a kind of paradise. When he goes, he warns, dont dare sing <em>Amazing Grace</em>that National / Anthem of Suffering. Instead, he suggests, When I Fly Away, / Dont dare hold no vigil . . . Just burn the whole / Town on down.<br />This collection will stand as one of Youngs besthis voice shaping sorrow with music, wisdom, heartache, and wit.</p>...6896537Night Watch242242https://www.gandhi.com.mx/night-watch-9798217165605/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6805517/image.jpg?v=638878924852230000InStockMXN99999PR_DIAudiolibro20259798217165605_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9798217165605_<p><strong>From the award-winning poet at the height of his career, a book of personal and American experiences, both beautiful and troubling, touching on the generative cycle of loss and renewal</strong></p><p>Following on his exquisite <em>Stones</em>, Youngs new collection shapes stories of familial and familiar love, inspired in part by other lives.
