Directing Herbert White: Poems

by James Franco

The debut poetry collection by actor, director, and writer James Franco.

I’m a nocturnal creature,
And I’m here to cheat time.
You can see time and exhaustion
Taking pay from my face–In fifty years
My sleep will be death,
I’ll go like the rest,
But I’ll have played
All the games and all the roles.
–from Nocturnal
