Sleepless nights in the dreamers mall

Om boken

Award-winning poet Herb Kauderer has been visiting the Dreamers Mall in The Tank, a vast virtual world, for thirty-five years. Now those countless "shopping trips" have been gathered into one volume, Sleepless Nights in the Dreamers Mall, inviting readers to roam its ever-shifting corridors with shops for Halloween avatars, dragons, jewelry made from life itself, a bookstore featuring a virtual Joseph Conrad, and much more.

Kauderer crafts a mosaic of lyrical stories with poems shimmering with humor, melancholy, and wonder. From an iron worker forging digital masterpieces "about the divide between the physical and the ethereal" to a brewmaster blending illusion and reality, these poems explore the deep longings culturally encoded in our shared virtual dreams.

So take forty winks, and step inside the mall.
