By: Kevin YoungA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR POETRY • LONGLISTED FOR THE GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE • A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice • From the award-winning poet at the height of his career, a book of personal and American experiences, both beautiful and troubling, touching on the generative cycle of loss and renewal
“Kevin Young is a poet of exceptional depth and sensitivity. . . . Let yourself focus on every phrase.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"Night Watch continues one of the most vital currents in contemporary poetry, transforming history and its silences into lyric through the poet’s eloquent invitation: ‘O wounded soul,/ speak.’” —The New York Times
Following on his exquisite Stones, Kevin Young’s new collection, written over the span of sixteen years, shapes stories of loss and legacy, inspired in part by other lives. After starting in the bayous of his family's Louisiana, Young journeys to further states of mind in “All Souls,” evoking “The whale / who finds the shore / & our poor prayers.” Another central sequence, “The Two-Headed Nightingale,” is spoken by Millie-Christine McCoy, the famous conjoined African American “Carolina Twins.” Born into enslavement, stolen, and then displayed by P. T. Barnum and others, the twins later toured the world as free women, their alto and soprano voices harmonizing their own way. Young’s poem explores their evolving philosophical selfhood and pluralities: “As one we sang, /we spake— / She was the body / I the soul / Without one / Perishes the whole.”
In “Darkling,” a cycle of poems inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, Young expands and embroiders the circles of Hell, drawing a cosmology of both loneliness and accompaniment, where “the dead don’t know / what to do / with themselves.” Young writes of grief and hope as familiar yet surprising states: “It’s like a language, / loss—,” he writes, “learnt only / by living—there—.” Evoking the history of poetry, from the darkling thrush to the darkling plain, Young is defiant and playful on the way through purgatory to a kind of paradise. When he goes, he warns, “don't dare sing Amazing Grace”—that “National / Anthem of Suffering.” Instead, he suggests, “When I Fly Away, / Don't dare hold no vigil . . . Just burn the whole / Town on down.”
This collection will stand as one of Young’s best—his voice shaping sorrow with music, wisdom, heartache, and wit.

Not for dogs that chew/ Update Seller Stands Behind their Product
Color: Con Leche
My 15 pound cavalier spaniel was in love with this toy, but it only took her about an hour to rip the end of it off and expose the contents. We had to take it away from her to prevent her from eating the inside. It might be good for a dog who only wants to play tug-of-war and not chew -wanted to send it back, but it was destroyed so we threw it in the trash. / As a update, I should have read the reviews and this is not for heavy chewers, I will say the seller was awesome and compensated me for this, thank you Olly!

Dog loves it.
Color: Con Leche
I use this tugger for training only. I use it to ween off treats as a reward as a playful tool. He associates it with this and this way it retains high value.

Nice appearance, lacks sturdiness in the long run
Color: Raven
Decent quality on the surface, but likely to eventually break down with aggressive tuggers or strong jawed dogs. Best for medium drive pups at best.
