This collection pays homage to the beverages we so love to wake up to, so love to enjoy throughout the day, in many ways, and that we so love to imbibe before bed. Sunny and funny poems are interspersed with more serious ones that provide a punch, because coffee helps us think deep thoughts. Yet we don't want to take ourselves too seriously. The book ends the collection with a couple poems full of gratitude for the day and the availability of caffeine, in its many forms.
