What happens between the hours of knock-off-o'clock in the evening and get-up-and-go the next morning?

This is the premise of poet/author Frank Prem's first (2003) poetry collection The Book of Evenings, in which he explores the twilight and examines the dark until he has enough . . . more than enough material for a book of evenings.

Wild Arancini Press is delighted to release this brand new edition of a wonderful first collection of poetry on its coming of age twenty-one years after the original.
