A comforting and thoughtful collection of poetry exploring sleep, sleepless nights, and the quiet moments between dusk and dawn.

Curated by Allie Esiri, Sleep brings together around ninety poems offering reassurance, reflection, and a little humour for anyone who has ever found themselves wide awake in the middle of the night.

Divided into three sections: Sleep, Insomnia (or Psst, Are You Awake), and Dawn, the anthology takes readers on a journey through the night. Each poem is accompanied by an introduction offering insight into its meaning and a little companionship during those quieter hours.

Featuring an impressive selection of poets, including Seamus Heaney, Wendy Cope, Philip Larkin, Mary Oliver, Sylvia Plath, Rumi, and Lemn Sissay, the collection brings together poetry from different centuries, cultures, and perspectives.

Gentle, reflective, and at times wonderfully relatable, Sleep is the perfect bedside companion for poetry lovers, restless sleepers, and anyone looking for a moment of calm at the end of a long day.
