Overview
Perhaps Bernadette Mayer's greatest work, Midwinter Day was written on December 22, 1978, at 100 Main Street, Lenox, Massachusetts. "Midwinter Day," as Alice Notley noted, "is an epic poem about a daily routine." A poem in six parts, Midwinter Day takes us from awakening and emerging from dreams through the whole day morning, afternoon, evening, night to dreams again: ". . . a plain introduction to modes of love and reason Then to end I guess with love, a method to this winter season Now I've said this love it's all I can remember Of Midwinter Day the twenty second of December Welcome sun, at last with thy softer light That takes the bite from winter weather And weaves the random cloth of life together And drives away the long black night!"
