The Art of Being Half Asleep in an Oversaturated Room is a book of forty-five poems with themes not only of society and human behavior, but also of observation, reflection, and abstract thought. Collected from Malia Robinson's adolescent years, the poems often ask and answer their own questions, or simply leave them open for the mind of the reader. From city streets to ghosts to people-watching, this book may leave you feeling that within every person is a poem.
