The Breaking of the Day by Michael Heffernan

As much as he can make them, Heffernan's poems are inventions of a reality in words caught in passing between strangers who stop and listen without needing to know why. Many are poems of places, from almost anywhere in Ireland to northern Michigan near the verge of the farther shores of the uppermost Great Lakes.
MICHAEL HEFFERNAN's previous books include To the Wreakers of Havoc (Georgia, 1984), The Man at Home (Arkansas, 1988), Love's Answer (Iowa Poetry Prize, 1994), and Another Part of the Island (Salmon Poetry, Ireland, 1999). He has won two Pushcart Prizes and three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. He was born and grew up in Detroit, where he was educated by the Jesuits before pursuing his graduate degrees in literature at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has three sons, Joseph, James, and Michael Eamon, along with a stepdaughter, Natalie Luer. He lives with his wife, Ann, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he has taught creative writing at the University of Arkansas since 1986.
