The poems in Hummingbird Sleep move associatively between Coleman Barks' personal experience and his extensive reading, weaving together a wild and eclectic range of material. A discussion of Plotinus, Barks' appearance on PBS NewsHour, a note Keats once left on Wordsworth's mantelpiece, a splinter in the heel, and a quote from the Upanishads-all make their way into Barks' most recent poems, which achieve intimacy and expansiveness at the same time.
