Poets have long written of the romance of the night world, so what better person to capture its romance and natural history than poet Christopher Dewdney, whose ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT: EXCURSIONS THROUGH THE WORLD AFTER DARK probes the scientific and literary world of 6pm to 6am. From the sensations of an 'ideal' night to global nighttime customs and nature, ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT holds both human and animal celebrations, habits, and reflections.
