"Nightlight for children of insomniacs is a feminist collection of poetry that examines the legacies that echo through families. It is an investigation of how myth responds to trauma, of how we love, how we hurt and how we recover. This collection engages with the possibility that in the absence of light we are able to summon our own profound and deeply personal magic. Nightlight for children of insomniacs is for anyone who has ever suspected there must be a guide book on how to live and they are the only ones who haven't read it"-- Provided by publisher.
