Sleep Handbook
Sleep Handbook
Nancy Lagomarsino
“Lagomarsino writes deceptively simple prose-poems about the realities of women’s lives…In the plainness of her speech, Lagomarsino finds a deep music of image and metaphor. A strong collection.”

Additional Praise:
“Nancy Lagomarsino has written a book of prose poems, plain-spoken, open-textured, touched with surprise…There’s a child feel to the book, Wonderland, more like a sequel, though; Alice grows up, goes to work, gets married, has kids…There’s the sense of immediate connection, good, gentle talk.”
