“Don’t Wake the Poets” weaves the stylistic framework of poetry and prose with fragments of experimental memoir.
Yves Hartleigh addresses the themes of spirituality, coming of age, and emotional currency—while discovering windows into womanhood, wealth, and temptation.
Dream sequences bring Yves across her American stage to forge a deeper communion with love. From coastal Christian summer camp to sin-soaked Atlantic City casinos, both set and setting hold a fragile girl’s heart.
These words provide proof that love requires a second try (sometimes a third or more…) and that there’s room to reconcile even the most cryptic parts of our humanity.
For mature readers.
