Peter Sanger’s great gift is that of drawing his readers deeper in, of revealing how literary habits of mind might tease hidden order and interconnection out of seemingly inert and ordinary subjects. Odysseus Asleep collects a number of poem sequences that previously appeared in small chapbooks and limited-edition publications, including The Third Hand (1994), Ironworks (1995), Stone Notes (1997), Kerf (2002), and Arborealis (2005), adding to them a new poem, ‘Odysseus Awake.’
