- Summary
- "Joy in the Morning alludes to Psalm 30:5: "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." These poems ultimately point to the inherent rewards of continuation and survival, as the scripture suggests, while they also pun on the words morning/mourning to reveal ways in which joy can be found even amid suffering."--BOOK JACKET.
