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!”
