I Love Hearing Your Dreams

From one of contemporary poetry's most playful and original minds, an enchanting and harrowing journey through the landscape of dreams and twenty-first century hopes and disillusions.';Your dreams have no hidden agenda to be wise they are made to be forgotten so something can be known' I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of ';the last time that things were real' and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake ';at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one' and the future seems to be ';just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.' Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder's poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anewsleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be. From a poet celebrated for his ';razor eye for the remnants and revenants of modern culture' (The New York Times), I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a startlingly beautiful and deeply vulnerable book where lives journey into a mystifying place and emerge transformed.
