Big Questions, Little Sleep Linda Imbler

In her dedication, Poet Linda Imbler quotes Anton Chekhov, "The role of the artist is to ask questions, not to answer them." These are intriguing words meant to reflect intriguing poetry.

The second edition of Big Questions, Little Sleep contains 143 poems. Also included is a lovely foreword penned by the distinguished Indian author Dr. Santosh Bakaya (Ballad of Bapu, Only In Darkness Can You See The Stars-Martin Luther King, Jr, Flights From My Terrace.) "Big Questions, Little Sleep" is a poetry collection exploring questions and some intriguing ideas about two of life's most significant mysteries: time and death. Written during bouts of nightly insomnia, these poems are written with a gentle tug at the heartstrings. Some are personal in nature, but have a strong universal appeal. Written with beauty and soul, each poem, conceived with its own unique perspective, asks more than it answers. Each invites you, the reader, to join the ranks of those who harbor sleepless nights as you contemplate the ever deepening layers of each poem.
