Hotel Insomnia by Charles Simic
A collection of surreal, nocturnal poems that roam through shabby rooms and dim city streets where the ordinary is bent by memory, war-haunted shadows, and deadpan wit. Angels, devils, mannequins, and stray dogs flicker in and out of dreamlike scenes, exposing the absurdity and tenderness at the heart of daily life. With spare, haunting lines and black humor, it contemplates insomnia, exile, and the thin border between the real and the uncanny.
