About this product
Product Information
This award-winning collection simmers with wit as Brodak confronts tragedy, childhood losses, transcendent love, and the question of art itself. Tinged with a suffering--"I was the littlest wastebasket. / I was my own church. Except-- / scared, scared"--that rises above personal sorrow, her fierce and painterly poems redefine nature and art and what exists between: "Lately, there is spangled shade in my space / and a cold apple orchard to tend in place of consciousness." As Reginald Shepherd said about the poems in Brodak's first collection, the chapbook Instructions for a Painting , her world is "'small enough / to sing in all directions,' and large enough to take us there."

"In Molly Brodak's poems, peril happens--a real thing--and then a flashbulb goes off or night comes on, and after begins again. By turns wistful and darkly comic, understandably sad and necessarily defiant, these poems make their own consolation. To read them is to remember what poetry is good for."--Mary Ann Samyn, author, Beauty Breaks In, " A Little Middle of the Night is stunning. With expressionistic care and a gilt-edged blade of language, Molly Brodak's wide-ranging voice reaches into the self and magically finds the shimmering world around us, the two-minded truth that 'every knife / you push in a man / will want out.' She moves through her richly textured poems with expert lucidity and plunges into the underneath to reveal the threat of violence, the fallible body, and the underbellies of this life so crammed with glitter and tarnish that angels blush."--Alex Lemon, author, Fancy Beasts and Happy: A Memoir, "As Molly Brodak's poems continually shift perspective from the self to family to history--they create a plurality of experiences that allow the reader to keep 'turning under and under every buried thing / until deep [is] not under but across.' And this distance across, this 'from here to there,' is made ever more strange and human by the obstacles of time and dream and illness that rise in these wonderful poems. It's a journey of no easy answers, where 'the future had scalloped edges,' and is not something waiting, but something happening."--John Gallaher, Laurel Review, "A Little Middle of the Nightis stunning. With expressionistic care and a gilt-edged blade of language, Molly Brodak's wide-ranging voice reaches into the self and magically finds the shimmering world around us, the two-minded truth that 'every knife / you push in a man / will want out.'

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
