Hummingbird Sleep: Poems, 2009-2011 AUTH-15806 the comedies and tragedies thatThe poems inHummingbird Sleep move associatively between Coleman Barks's personal experience and his extensive reading, weaving together a wild and eclectic range of material. A discussion of Plotinus, Barks's appearance on PBS NewsHour, a note Keats once left on Wordsworth's mantelpiece, a splinter in the heel, and a quote from the Upanishads all make their way into Barks's most recent poems, which achieve intimacy and expansiveness at the same time.
