Book Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders and Bite by Bite, Aimee Nezhukumatathil's fifth collection of poetry explores love, nature, and the transformative powers of the night.

In her latest poetry collection, Aimee Nezhukumatathil plumbs the depths of nighttime, crafting a series of nocturnes that explore the magic, sensuality, and life that emerge as the rest of the world goes to bed.

Night Owl navigates questions and concerns for the environment that envelops us. It meditates on our connections to family and beloveds, and explores our position within the broader beauty of the planet. Just as the night transforms how we see things, love in its many forms shifts our understanding of togetherness and the natural world. And these poems are deeply suffused with love--each an expression of Nezhukumatathil's captivating responses to the animals, plants, and people who have her heart and enliven her world.

Night Owl presents a dazzling vision of nature that celebrates the beautiful noises and silences of this planet, as well as its many complications. Nezhukumatathil provides a singular contribution to writing on the natural world, calling on our sense of love--even in the face of increasing violence to one another and the environment--by focusing on the revolutionary impact of the dark.
