No Trouble Staying Awake

<p><strong><em>From </em>Anne-Marie Oomen Michigan Author Award Winner</strong>: With immense compassion and gentle humor Scollon weaves these poems out of a love for the world and grief for its losses. Offering readers a fierce and close attention she witnesses wonder geraniums love turtles and the tenderness we crave if we are human. . . . Without ever denying the terrible injustices of our time but with a lyricism that is both quieting and piercing these poems offer hope for our better selves our kindest souls. Sometimes they make me cry with their beauty.</p>
