When I Forgot to Sleep Susan Llewelyn

When I Forgot To Sleep is the debut poetry collection by Susan Llewelyn. The book is the story her life revealed on many sleepless nights and described through the lens of poetry. "Are these dreams or conscious thoughts? Is this daylight I see or the hollow night? Am I asleep or awake: I cannot tell the difference." Lack of sleep proves to be crippling but also a surprising catalyst for change. Understanding the relationship of the past to the present, love and loss and a mind and body in free fall, demands time be taken to dream and contemplate which ultimately leads to a positive awakening. Susan is from Melbourne, Australia and is the founder and editor in chief of the global Instagram poetry platform, By Me Poetry. She lives in a quiet suburb with her husband and three gorgeous young adults.
