The result is a riveting sequence of dream poems, followed by \"Notes.\" The poems, in the form of irregular sonnets, describe her dreamworld: a realm of beauty and terror emblazoned with recurring colors and images--gold, blood red, robin's-egg blue, snakes, swarms of razors, suitcases, playing cards, a catwalk. The Notes, also exquisitely readable, unfold the meaning of the dreams--as told to her analyst--and recount the enlightening and sometimes harrowing process of unlocking memories, starting with the diaries she burned to make herself forget. Arvio's explorations lead her back to her younger self--and to a life-changing understanding that will fascinate readers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn utterly original work of art and a groundbreaking portrayal of the power of dream interpretation to resolve psychic distress, this stunning book illumines the poetic logic of the dreaming mind; it also shows us, with surpassing poignancy, how tender and fragile is the mind of an adolescent girl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40817141383191,"sku":"9780375712227","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/view_archive_da994deb-cc4f-47ae-b1ba-5416df7c2f2e.jpg?v=1703281181","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/arvio-sarah-night-thou","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
