Who is the main character in Jarrell's, The Bat Poet?

The most vividly drawn character is the "coffee-colored" bat who refuses to stay asleep during the day. This bat is something of a rebel. He observes things that the other bats have never seen and wants to write about them. Like the poet in society, the bat is the observer for those who are too wrapped up in conformity to truly see. As an individual, the bat must also learn what he thinks is important, even if learning this causes him great difficulty.
