Wide slumber is one of the Globe's Top 100

Wide slumber from lepidopterists, the debut poetry collection from a.rawlings, is one of the Globe and Mail's Top 100 Books of 2006. Read what the Globe had to say about this acclaimed book:<!--newline--><!--newline-->'"A hoosh a ha." These not-quite-words float in the middle of a blank page. On the next page, "a hoosh a ha" is scattered five times. The last page of the section is nearly black with these onomatopoeic brushes of wings. Wide Slumber then moves through six sections that explore states of sleep in counterpoint with the life cycle of butterflies and moths. That juxtaposition is interesting enough, but rawlings's ability to reproduce the frankly copulative energy pulsing through both worlds is often breathtaking. This is one cool collection, a fresh combination of unashamedly brainy and unabashedly horny.'
