Tonight Will be The Longest Night of Them All
by Stephan Silich
"...find solace in the nowness
of everywhere.
Stay imperfect and incomplete.
Fight the wars, not the battles.
Express the depths of
ordinary life.
Allow yourself to stay
vividly present,
and know when to walk
away from it all."
--Stephan Silich

"Silich slips effortlessly into a long tradition of New York poets from Walt Whitman to Frank O'Hara and his poems are... a delight."
KIRKUS REVIEWS
ABOUT THE BOOK
'tonight is the longest night of them all' is Stephan Silich's second collection of poetry in which he once again captures the ordinary and extraordinary moments of living and loving.
His poems are as much stories and observations as they are lyrical interpretations of the human condition. In these pages, he stretches his muse beyond reflections on love, family and human mortality and pays tribute to the streets of his native New York and to the artists and writers who have offered inspiration.
But most of all, Silich's words offer and eternal song of longing and hope. The perfect remedy for those of us who fail and dare to try and try again.
