"Life, it appears, issimple," Tami Haaland says toward the end of this book. Her poetry captures the complicated feelingsof parents and children, men and women, boys and girls, as they enact theirfamily dramas. At the heart of thiscollection is an account of a unique and unbearable loss, the kind which makeslife anything but simple. Yet Haalandwrites with such clarity and sanity and fluent formal skill that she does makelife appear simple, even as she shows us again and again it is not. WhenWe Wake in the Night is a remarkable achievement.
Mark Jarman, author of Bone Fires:New and Selected Poems
Tami Haaland's poems canbe unflinching or fragile; they are resonant, heartfelt, and startling. WhenWe Wake in the Night draws you into a world of memory, nature's spaces andcreatures, dreams, love, and deepest loss. This is a volume to treasure.
Kate Light, author of Gravity's Dream
Praise for Breath in Every Room
Tami Haaland's poems touch the interior ofthe world, the way a bat might test, through echolocation, the walls of a cave,or a whale might sound the interior of the sea. And like a whale's song, theyare recursive--eddying, building. Thepoems do not force a reader to carry the full weight of the poet's personalnarrative. On each meticulously-lineated page there is great absence fordreaming. Breath in Every Room braidstogether haunting poems that begin and end inmedias res, leaving the reader--not closure, but an opportunity to imaginelong after completing the book.
