In the Absence of the Sun

in the absence of the sun is a poetry collection that explores our midnight thoughts--the "nightmares" and "dreams" that haunt us when we are unable to sleep. This collection takes you through a night of insomnia, ruminating on ideas of self-doubt, loss, and hope for the future.

Emily Curtis is a poet from Maine who you can always find with a book one in hand, and a cup of tea in the other. She is a lover of poetry, music, art, animals, the beach, and above all, friends and family. She currently attends Foxcroft Academy, in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, and receives support from many of her peers and teachers there. This is her first poetry collection, and hopefully not her last. As for her future, it is still unclear, but one thing is for certain: her writing will be a part of it. You can find her on Instagram as @poetryflowssofter.
