In Sleep We Are All the Same: poems

0/5 ( ratings)

In Sleep We Are All the Same includes poems written in response to images from the history of Belfast, Maine. These are poems of love, of survival, of work, of disappointment, and of joy. Arranged in roughly chronological order, they touch on the lives of earlier inhabitants such as Don Robbins, a local midget, and Mr. Andrew Johnson, a former slave who became a successful business man in town. Later poems include a traffic accident, a local circus, and a young girl acting as a crossing guard for school children. In writing that is both honest, caring, and beautifully crafted, Judy Kaber puts herself back in time, imagining the complexities of life for those pictured, how they stumbled forward, grasped small triumphs, remained steadfast in their beliefs, and paved the way for the diverse and struggling world we live in today.
