When I Forgot to Sleep

When I Forgot To Sleep is the debut poetry collection by Susan Llewelyn. The book is an autobiographical reflection that explores the psychological impact of the growing modern disorder of chronic insomnia 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.
