The poems in Bed, many written during prolonged bed rest, examine how life's interruptions-illness or new motherhood, loss or lust-can lead us to intimate revelations with others and with our selves.

The bed in Bed is often an absent center-a missing mind-around which intimacy must dance. Maybe it is the wanted child. Maybe it is the mourned self. Maybe it is your mind these poems must be tucked into to be kept or come alive.
