"This is a book that will make you feel simultaneously alive and less alone."--Hanif Abdurraqib, New York Times bestselling author of There's Always This Year from somewhere down a hallway of locked doors, a voice asks / What if you aren't as bad as you suspect you are? / What if you'll never be as good as you ache? Lauded poet Sarah Kay brings us her long-awaited second full-length collection, a decade after her acclaimed debut No Matter the Wreckage. In A Little Daylight Left, Kay explores life's most vulnerable moments of transition with courage, curiosity, joy & humor. Each poem invites readers to consider what it might look like to boldly face the hard things we so often run from--a heartbreak, an ailing loved one, the fear that comes with new beginnings & uncertain futures--& to celebrate what we hold dear.
