R.E.M. Eyes Wide Open

R.E.M. Eyes Wide Open Some nights refuse to end. Between 1:43 a.m. and sunrise, when the world falls quiet, the mind grows louder. Memories replay. Heartbreak lingers. Dreams blur with reality. Questions demand answers that daylight never seems to offer. R.E.M.: Eyes Wide Open is a collection of poetry written from the sleepless hours—the space where vulnerability becomes strength, humor softens grief, and ordinary moments reveal extraordinary truths. With honesty, wit, and lyrical precision, Sara Nicole Glass explores love and loss, identity and healing, nostalgia and reinvention, reminding us that even our most restless nights can become places of transformation. For anyone who has stared at the ceiling waiting for sleep, overthought every conversation, or discovered that the darkest hours sometimes reveal the clearest truths, these poems offer both companionship and hope. Sometimes the soul does its deepest dreaming with its eyes wide open.
