Germaine Greer chooses and introduces ten bedtime poems in the second in our series of bedtime poems selected by leading writers and thinkers. Her poems are all connected to a tradition of poetry about sleep (or lack of it). Some of them will be familiar to readers, but that ."does not make them hackneyed, because they are the real thing. Their mystery and their meaning grow deeper, not shallower, every time we repeat them."
