Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up at Night--the book that launched
the career of one of our most important young American poets--is back in
print.
The debut collection from award-winning poet Morgan Parker demonstrates
why she's become one of the most beloved writers working today. Her
command of language is on full display. Parker bobs and weaves between
humor and pathos, grief and anxiety, Gwendolyn Brooks and Jay-Z, the New
York School and reality television. She collapses any foolish
distinctions between the personal and the political, the "high" and the
"low." Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up at Night not only introduced
an essential new voice to the world, it contains everything readers have
come to love about Morgan Parker's work.
