The book title reminded me of a performance by Fedir Alexandrovich, ‘The Sleepwalkers’ March.’ The first poem reminded me of my childhood radio, which broadcasted multiple stations simultaneously; the uniformity of frontline news was yet to wash off any differences between radio stations. While listening to the poem, I felt like I was in my grandma’s kitchen, bouncing on the wooden stool that wasn’t made for bouncing while she was trying to adjust the radio. Sorry for such an unrelated comment. I enjoyed reading ‘Blotter’ and look forward to reading ‘Sleepers Awake.’
